A real maverick in the world’s contemporary art scene, New York-based artist Bill Viola conveys his artist expression via electronic, sound and image, focusing on fundamental human experience such as birth, death and consciousness. Famous works by Viola include Martyrs (Earth, Air, Fire, Water), Fire Woman, Tristan’s Ascension and Quintet of the Astonished. At the Redtory Museum of Contemporary Art, Viola’s works from 1977-2014 will be showcased in a large space modeled on the artist’s Long Beach studio. Meanwhile, public lectures and panels will run throughout the exhibition.
