Fred Wilson rose to prominence in the 1980s for hi

Fred Wilson rose to prominence in the 1980s for his work examining the politics of museum display, and since then, the artist has worked between two modes—institutional interventions and creating artworks in his studio.⁠
⁠
"The Mete of the Muse" comes from a body of work that Wilson began in the early 2000s focusing on histories of the African diaspora, and the legacy of colonialism and slavery in the United States and around the world.⁠
⁠
This work in the Besthoff Sculpture Garden juxtaposes an ancient Egyptian female figure painted with a black patina with a figure of a Greco-Roman woman, painted white. The work reflects on commingled histories of Europe and Africa, placing statues side by side in order to highlight the ways that museum displays have long privileged European history.⁠

Conceived as large-scale light paintings, the photographs in Gary Aro Ruble's "Power Flick" series depict the movement of light through space and time on a human scale.⁠
⁠
For works like the one shown above, Ruble meticulously planned the production for weeks. The night of the happening, costumed participants illuminated themselves with colorful flashbulbs and spotlights before shifting positions.⁠
⁠
The result of an eleven-hour exposure taken from a fixed position on the hillside, all the special effects seen in "Power Flick #13: The Sushumna Jam" are evidence of Ruble's careful organization and arrangement.⁠
