Raffaella Cortese is delighted to announce the first solo show in Milan of the American artist William E. Jones (Canton, Ohio, 1962), whose videos and photographs of 2010 – the latter commissioned for the Italian show – will be displayed.
Jonesʼ work, which has always been characterized by the study of archive material, offers an interpretation of some cross-sections of American society and episodes in recent history that have either slipped into oblivion or been purposefully forgotten. In particular, the artist wants to make us think about the control strategies implemented by those who are in socio-political power.
