fred wilson




smart guy. the bottom image is of a blown up picasso. over one of the faces of the women is an african mask. inside is a video of the artist with some african friends discussing art. wilson points out in interview that modernism 'kills' traditional african art. picasso was inspired by it without really understanding it..
deals with race also with black dot prints, with glass drips, with placement of found objects to change their context/ meaning.
