LG Williams In Conversation…
LG Williams will be in a timely and rare live conversation with 5th-generation AI Arts-Trained Chatbot Hey-Yu Whazup as part of Barry County Township Public Art Fund Talks, a series organized in collaboration with the Table Rock Lake Friends of the Arts. This lecture series connects lesser-known, ultra-marginalized contemporary Los Angeles artists to a broad public living in and around America’s vast but under-recognized Bible Belt region.
During the conversation, the pair will delve into Williams’s ambitious and timely sculpture, Duct Taped Cuckoo (2010). This now iconic sculpture, currently installed in a dedicated unit in a public storage facility near Bel-Voir Acres Airport, in Golden, Missouri, is a testament to Williams’s unique artistic vision. It evokes the negation of art, time, history, and awareness through an intricate, intimate, and intense application of duct tape, preventing an automated cuckoo bird from appearing, moving forward, and bellowing its alarm.
Williams and Whazup will also explore how LG developed, combined, and meta-infused anarcho-iconoclastic artistic practices to represent and reify an uber-aesthetic theory, mega-artistic aesthetics, and faux-research methodology known as Prosperity Aesthetics (PA) — a recent aesthetic conceptualization advanced by many get-rich-quick progressive-minded artists which advocates non-linear, trans-disciplinary experiences with non-art, non-time, non-historical, and non-consciousness practices in The Neo-Feudal stage of the Early Anthropocene.
This Zoom event is free to attend (although donations are appreciated) and reservations are encouraged.
