Samuel Williams Exhibition






























This even is FREE and open to the public.
Date: Friday April 1 through June 19
Time: Opening reception: Friday, April 1, 5-8 p.m.
Gallery hours are Wednesday - Sunday, Noon- 5 p.m., open late Thursdays until 8 p.m.
Location: INOVA/Kenilworth

Samuel Williams is a British artist working primarily in sculpture and video. His work tends to focus on limitations of materials and time (for example, his series of 20-second sculptures, made from whatever is at hand within the one-third minute time constraint). For this exhibition, Inova will fully engage Williams' inventive capabilities, and the limitations of his living in a country an ocean away.

For the first time ever, at the beginning of the show the gallery will be empty. Each day the gallery is open (including opening night) throughout the run of the show, Williams will send instructions, via fax, e-mail or telephone, for one sculpture to be made on site. A collection of volunteers, drawn from students in the Peck School of the Arts and the Milwaukee community, will sign on to help realize these works, gradually filling up the gallery at the pace of one sculpture per day that the gallery is open. By the end of the show, if all goes as planned 38 Williams sculptures will occupy the space.
