  BILL WOODROW - Sculpture
Although Bill Woodrow's sculpture has been exhibited around the world, surprisingly this is the first exhibition to attempt an overview of the artist's evolution to date.
Woodrow's sculpture from this period utilised the detritus of a consumer society, where commodities from discarded washing machines to automobile parts were cut apart and transformed into a new set of imagery.
A certain level of ambiguity is essential, for Woodrow's sculpture demands the active participation of his audience and shifts much of the onus for interpretation from the artist/creator onto the viewer/reader.

In 1919 Woodrow Wilson came to Versailles almost universally praised as the embodiment of the hopes of the world for a more peaceful future.
In this book, Thomas Fleming is attempting to cast new light on Woodrow Wilson's presidency, specifically the period from the declaration of war against Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1917 through the presidential election of 1920.
Fleming attempts to show that Wilson was a complete failure during this time, declaring war for the wrong reasons, bungling the peace process, allowing civil rights abuses at home, and torpedoing the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles by his stubborn refusal to compromise.
