Venice Biennale 2009: Guyton/Walker

txt: At Carpenter Center, Empire Strikes Back – Harvard Gazette

Paint leaks through the wooden frames of canvases. Ketel One vodka ads can be glimpsed through the clutter. Inside it becomes clear that what you’re looking at are the politically charged installations of Guyton/Walker, the Josep Lluis Sert Practitioner in the Arts at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts. The exhibit is called “Guyton/Walker: Empire Strikes Back” and is on display through April 20 [2006]. The disturbing, colorful, eclectic pieces by the collaborative dynamic duo Wade Guyton and Kelley Walker have been called perverse still-lifes. Aptly so.
