FRED WILSON (1954 - )
Untitled (Venice Biennale).

Digital print on Kodak Professional paper, 2003. 400x560 mm; 15 3/8x21 7/8 inches, full margins. Signed, dated and numbered 5/125 in ink on the verso.

In 2003, Wilson was the United States representative to the Venice Biennale, where he focused on "trompe l'oeil curating," placing African-American historical or cultural objects in new--and sometimes outlandish--settings. The juxtaposition of images and mediums in this digital projection is reminiscent of his other ahistoric renderings.
