"In a world where the image of a painting on a computer screen can be as real as a painting hanging in a gallery, 'I Could See Everything', the breakthrough body of work by acclaimed painter, filmmaker and social artist Margaux Williamson, appears here both as a strange vision and one that feels so familiar and inevitable. This suite of forty-six paintings, selected and curated by the Road at the Top of the World Museum for their tenth anniversary, shares the gallery<U+2019>s preoccupation with, as curator Ann Marie Pena says, darkness as both geographical condition and conceptual idea." -- Publisher's statement. |

The title alone <U+2014> I Could See Everything <U+2014> evokes a sense of wonder. Imagine what you would see if you could see everything. As teachers, we ask students to use the conditional with caution. The reader must know whether you speak in fact or in the hypothetical. Watch for the gap, we warn, between what you could see and what you did see. In good faith, we do not ask the same of artists. We maintain that gap for works like I Could See Everything'. A fictional art gallery (the Road at the Top of the World Museum), with its able curator (the Art Gallery of Ontario's Ann Marie Peña), exhibits forty-six new paintings by Margaux Williamson. Docent Mark Greif guides us through each room. Critics provide reviews. The artist herself gives an interview and, finally, in the last section, the reader can ferret her source materials, sketches and text sketches. The book is an exhibition, reception and retrospective in one. We can see everything. -- Review: Margaux Williamson, I Could See Everything by Chelsea Rooney [http://projectspace.ca/review-margaux-williamsons-i-could-see-everything]. -- Source outher than Library of Congress. |
