Author Description

"[applause] can appear almost anywhere. Bryan Reynolds and LG Williams demonstrate an unprecedented mixing of representational registers, challenging the line between material and immaterial through the effable and the ineffable, to powerfully examine the powers of imagination. A canonical conceptual artwork of the 2000's, [applause] is arguably the first exhibition to explore art's present, absent, and future-present instantiations. The first published collection of collaborative work from two internationally celebrated cultural producers, [applause] evokes objects, signals, and images that reflect processes, materials, and semiotic structures, which, in effect, generate poetry, discourses, and narratives that summon a viewer's sense and sensibility. Dematerialized yet ever-present, Reynolds and Williams' cross-dimensional expressions and entreaties introduce a distinctive aesthetic eloquence for exploration and understanding. Each arresting singularity, each singular statement, becomes itself a multiplicity and from which singularities emerge, dematerialize, and reemerge through and as tabula rasa infinitum." -- Back cover.
