Christopher Williams - Profile

Williams investigates the inheritance of the long period of reforms and experimentation that made Bologna an international reference point, from the opening of the DAMS, to broadcasts by the first independent radio stations, such as the famous Radio Alice, to the involvement of intellectuals and students in a debate that stretched beyond the walls of their institutions. In this sense Christopher Williams' show, set up to mark the imminent transfer of the museum to its new location in the Ex Forno del Pane, can be seen as an act of conscious dismantling, not only of a space but a cultural project destined to be postponed and taken up again elsewhere. Christopher Williams, born in Los Angeles in 1956, lives and works in Los Angeles. The artistic experience of Christopher Williams, one of the most influential artists of his generation, is situated at an ideal connecting point between the Conceptual Art of the 1960s and the 1970s, seeking to deconstruct critically the tools and the very context of artistic activity, and to capture the neo-conceptual strategies of the most recent generation, which has been emerging since the 1990s. Videos, films installations, sculptures and performances are used to analyse the complex and stratified mechanisms by which contemporary communication and aesthetic conventions construct our way of perceiving and understanding reality.
