Doug Huebler, shake hands with Jean Rouch. Christopher Williams's forty-five-work survey frames the last three years of his career-spanning metaarchive--including a recent body of photographs the West Coast artist half-jokingly refers to as his "Maoist phase." The moral center: a suite of images featuring a '64 Renault (with California plates) tumped on its side, the light just catching the smeared fingerprints on its steel body, a make-do barricade riffing on French uprisings more than two decades removed (and obliquely bowing to Rouch's 1961 Chronicle of a Summer). Hermetic, as always, yet somehow acerbically clear, Williams's project will be amplified, in all its productive contradictions, by an artist's book planned in conjunction with the show's organizer, Grenoble director Yves Aupetitallot. May 28-Sept. 10.
