Description

On April 5th, Linc Real Art in San Francisco will showcase a remarkable exhibition, Duct and Covered, featuring LG Williams, a leading American avant-garde artist, and the seminal figure working today with duct tape.

This show highlights LG Williams's latest artworks from his very recent ''Duct and Covered'' series, conceived exclusively for duct tape -the artist's current art material of choice. This bold and challenging new group of paintings and sculptures alludes to several important events that define a decisive turn in the contemporary American outlook, art, and culture.

''Events over the last few months are nothing any artist could have envisioned,'' the Linc Art director, Charlie Tinder, said regarding Mr. William's art. ''But if none of these events would have happened, none of this art would have happened, either. You can't have one without the other. LG is definitely on the pulse with America, and this is the best art around right now, period.''

Full Summary

Duct and Cover is a PCP Press artist and exhibition publication centered on LG Williams’s duct-tape-based artworks. The source announces a 2003 Linc Real Art exhibition in San Francisco, with the show running April 1 through May 13 and an opening reception on April 5. Its article “Duct Tape Leads to New Art by LG Williams,” credited to Holly Hope, frames Williams as an avant-garde artist working with duct tape and presents the Duct and Covered series as a group of paintings and sculptures conceived around duct tape as the material of choice. The publication describes representative works including a teddy bear, a stack of bibles, flowers, and a Starbucks cup completely covered in gray duct tape, positioning the series within contemporary American art and culture after recent events.
