The Visual Arts Centre of Clarington is pleased to announce the presentation of Virginia-based artist Sandy Williams IV’s first solo e xhibition in Canada. Featuring multiple series of work across two and three -dimensional media, Williams problematizes the temporal legacy of public mo numents by investigating concepts of time, memory, and agency.  

 

Yesterday is Melting encapsulates a relent less pursuit of public agency in the face of colonial power, systemic oppre ssion, and increasing genesis amnesia. Each work implicates audiences to ac knowledge how we observe and participate in history. Williams strikes a bal ance in tension—interplaying the untouchable and the malleable, the passage of time and the infallible memory, the transparent and the concealed. They invite the viewer to participate in the emancipation of public space by un ravelling structures of power and repression in North America.
