 EXHIBITION BY NOTED BRITISH SCULPTOR ALISON WILDING COMES TO THE ART GALLERY OF YORK UNIVERSITY

Alison Wilding's work is recognized by its strong emphasis on surface and materials, its juxtaposition of elements, and its acknowledgement of the body as a primary site of meaning.
In the 1980s, during the height of 'deconstructive' photo- and textual-based approaches to art production, Wilding's work ventured in a different direction, one which anticipated many of the questions -- of embodiment, affect and other aspects of sensate existence -- that are such a preoccupation in art today.
The Alison Wilding exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Edmonton Art Gallery, and produced with the assistance of The British Council and The Canada Council Touring Office.
