The Printed Picture (MoMA)
Presented as a series of one-page essays opposite the pictures they examine, the book retains the lively, engaging style of the informal lectures through which Richard Benson developed his ideas over the course of 30 years at Yale University. Rooted in hands-on descriptions of practical techniques, The Printed Picture offers a rich and imaginative interpretation of the enormous cultural and social influence of multiple images. For exhibition including Brian Wood.
Richard Benson is a MacArthur Fellow and the former Dean of the Yale School of Art.

James Casebere on Brian Wood
"Brian Wood’s paintings are the main revelation. They turn inside out, denying any clear, cohesive read. What results are psychological images using anatomical and biological signs that allude to perception and memory: How does the brain construct images? How do we construct space before we have language? How is consciousness shaped by awareness of the body?" -James Casebere for Bomb Magazine

The Uninvited
Bill Barrett, Rico Espinet and Brian Wood
Three artists whose work shares no immediate formal concerns but each invokes an "uninvited" presence, residual of a past event, or anticipating a future happening. It is this knowing and uninvited presence that merges the quotidian and the poetic.
