WARD SHELLEY AT PIEROGI, BROOKLYN
James Kalm catches up with conceptual artist Ward Shelley on the closing day of his exhibition 'Who Invented the Avant-Garde and other half truths'. This exhibition presents three bodies of recent work: 'Archive', an installation of hundreds of idea boxes that represent an externalization of the artists mind, 'Sleeper Experiment' in which the artist is exposed to a computerized voice repeating donated texts from viewers, and the 'Timeline Paintings' which trace the developments and derivations of various cultural happenings in graphic form.
The video includes extended explanations of the works by Ward Shelley.
