“Material Witness” Exhibition
Williamsburg Art & Historical Center
This event has ended.
Curated by William Norton
The WAH Center (The Williamsburg Art and Historical Center) presents an exhibition Material Witness curated by William Norton who has assembled artists for whom the media is a large part of the message. The materials chosen for use by the artists are specific to their message and a change of material would invalidate that message.
As defined by Webster’s Dictionary:
ma·te·ri·al
1 : the matter from which a thing is or can be made
2 : the material rather than the spiritual world
wit•ness
1 : to bear witness : TESTIFY
2 : to bear witness to one’s convictions
ma·te·ri·al wit·ness
a witness whose evidence is likely to be sufficiently important to influence the outcome of a trial.
As such these artists all bear witness with total conviction to the truth found in an honest usage and understanding of the information bound to their particular materials of choice.
