The
Renaissance Society concludes its 2012-13 season with Forlesen, a new
installation by Chicago-based interdisciplinary artist William Pope.L, on view
from April 28 to June 23, 2013. In his work, Pope.L investigates how difference
is demarcated economically, socially, culturally and politically, most
prominently in the opposition between blackness and whiteness. With this
project, the artist furthers his exploration through multiple media, including
drawings, sculpture and a major video installation. Forlesen marks
Pope.L’s first solo exhibition in Chicago since moving to the city to join the
faculty of the University of Chicago’s Department of Visual Arts.
