Join artist Christopher Williams for a walk-through of the exhibition ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN, during which he will share observations, thoughts, and questions about the impact of Ed Ruscha’s work on contemporary art and artists.
Artists on Artists is an in-gallery conversation series in which contemporary artists are invited to select and share their perspectives on artworks on view in MoMA’s galleries. This series is intended for anyone interested in learning about the connections between artists’ practices and networks. Each conversation is free and open to all. Program size is limited to 35 participants and preregistration is required.
Christopher Williams’s work addresses the visual and informational structures that define everyday life. His multifaceted practice—in a variety of mediums, including photography, video, and installation—incorporates references to multiple sources and precedents, including the artist’s own ever-expanding inventory of imagery and discursive materials. Williams’s work is included in museum collections worldwide, including the Art Institute of Chicago; Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; Ludwig Museum, Cologne; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien (mumok), Vienna; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. The artist lives and works in Cologne and Los Angeles.
