Bernard Williams

Buffalo Chart
2008
Acrylic on cutout wood and found objects
72 x 300 inches

The complexities of global as well as national history and culture are stretched across the wall of the gallery in the second work featured in The Nighty-Nite Show. Titled Buffalo Chart, it comprises an enormous mural-scale collection of hundreds of symbols that Williams cut out of painted black plywood. Silhouetted representations of weapons, tools, instruments, people working and fighting, animals and words make up this information grid, an ongoing work that has engaged the artist for several years. Recently, a variation of Buffalo Chart was exhibited in REMIX: New Modernities in a Post Indian World, at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in New York. Exhibited: "Remix: Modernities in a Post Indian World" organized by the Smithsonian Institution and traveled to: Heard Museum, AZ; Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, NY; Art Gallery of Ontario, Canada; Cedar Rapids Art Center, IA, 2008-2010. "Nighty Nite..." Bernard Williams at Slate Gallery, Brooklyn, NY 2010.
