This exhibition explores the early dialogues, collaborations, and the creative relationship between Ed Ruscha and Mason Williams. Williams a life-long friend of Ruscha\u2019s since fourth grade in Oklahoma City, moved from Oklahoma to Los Angeles with Ruscha in the mid 50\u2019s.<\/p>\n
This exhibition focuses on a small, but extraordinary body of art by Mason Williams as well as selected early highlights of Ruscha\u2019s earlier work. Of particular interest is Williams 36 foot long Bus<\/em> (1967)\u2014a life-size, silkscreened image of a Greyhound bus (see above) and folded like a map\u2014conceived around the same time as Ruscha\u2019s silver-covered Every Building on the Sunset Strip<\/em> (which also unfolds to over 27 feet).<\/p>\n William’s and Rucha’s interests intersect on co-mingle in ways during this show I had half a feeling that really the whole show was by Ruscha, clearly that was more of a daydream of my own, but the thought remains and I have a hard time getting away from it. While this is stuck in my head, don\u2019t let that distract you from both a physically interesting and highly cerebral show.<\/p>\n Alden Projects Exhibition Dates:<\/strong> Thursday, September 10\u2013Saturday, October 18, 2015<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This exhibition explores the early dialogues, collaborations, and the creative relationship between Ed Ruscha and Mason Williams.
