Frank McEntire Exhibit, HFAC, like Fred Wilson,
Appropriating curatorial methods and strategies, Fred Wilson creates new contexts for the display of art and artifacts found in museum collections, along with wall labels, sound, lighting, and non-traditional pairings of objects. His sculptures and installations lead viewers to recognize that changes in context create changes in meaning, and thereby shape interpretations of historical truth and artistic value. "I would like to think that objects have memories and we have memories about certain objects....A lot of what I do is eliciting memory from an object."
