THE ART / WILLIAM E. JONES AT THE MODERN INSTITUTE

By Crash redaction

The first William E. Jones’s major solo exhibition takes place at Modern Institute in UK. For his exhibition in The Modern Institute’s Aird’s Lane gallery space, William E. Jones presents a film installation incorporating three films screened in succession across three consecutive walls. These works are obliquely autobiographical and call upon moments of political and cultural upheaval in America during William E. Jones’ childhood.

A short text by Steven Cairns has been commissioned on the occasion of William E. Jones’ exhibition : Power Struggles – viewer, subject, and auteur in the work of William E. Jones

William E.  Jones is an artist, filmmaker, photographer and writer,  whose work centres around the appropriation of documentary and historical research, disseminated through still and moving imagery, sound and text.

Location : The Modern Institute, Glasgow, UK

Duration : 23rd March –  25th  May  2013
