Fictional NeighborsGerard WilliamsMarch 2 - April 2, 2007 Parker's Box is proud to present: Fictional Neighbors, an exhibition of a new body of works by British artist, Gerard Williams In Fictional Neighbors, the artist has made a new series of "windows", floating with even stronger ambiguity between what the artist has fabricated, found, modified, transformed, or simply acquired "off the shelf" from a supplier. In this way, Williams's recipe for this new series of works mixes sculptural trompe l'oeil with the ready-made, appropriation with subtly incorporated fine craftsmanship, as well as artistic license with what could even be seen as stirrings of a kind of social super-realism. This mixture is sprinkled with a good deal of poetry and humor and held together by an intriguing subtext of partly ironic inquiry into the nature of wall-based, "gallery art", and its history. |
