The wily Mr. Wiley goes to Washington hat has William T. Wiley wrought? Or more appropriately what hasn’t he wrought? In a stellar career that began when he was in high school in the 1950s, and has spanned six decades, there isn’t an art form that Wiley hasn’t plied. A long-time resident of West Marin, and an ex-professor at UC Davis, he’s painted, sculpted, composed music and performed it, written poetry and recorded it, and made movies, too. Time and again he’s brought all the arts together in explosive works that take on the world and often turn it upside down. Wiley’s art has also always poked fun at narrow-minded American politics and shrill politicians. Unafraid to take on Washington, D.C.’s powers-that-be, Wiley has satirized whatever party happens to be in power. A colossal exhibition of his work opened Oct. 2 in the nation’s capital at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and runs through Jan. 24, 2010. In the spring the exhibition travels to the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, opening on March 17, 2010, and closing June 20. For art lovers who can’t or won’t travel to Washington, or refuse to wait for Wiley’s work to arrive in Berkeley, there’s the elegant new book, What’s It All Means: William T. Wiley in Retrospective (University of California Press; $39.95). With provocative essays by outstanding scholars, What’s It All Mean includes work from every period of a career that has continually reinvented itself. Indeed, Wiley has had as many different periods as Picasso. If there is one single, living American artist whose name can be spoken without apology in the same breathe as Picasso’s, it might be Wiley’s. What’s It All Means illuminates his artistic genius. The volume also shows that virtuoso critics such as Joann Moser, John Yau and John G. Hanhardt have, like the public at large, often been puzzled by Wiley’s enigmatic paintings and sculptures that deconstruct, reconstruct and critique themselves. Wiley has always painted against interpretation. He has also always invited viewers to look closely at his work, and to hunt for hidden signs and symbols. What’s It All Means shows how playful he can be—especially in pieces like Sold Yours Return and Mr. Unnatural Eyes the Ape Run Ledge—and how masterful a punster he has been. With a name like Wiley you might expect he’d be wily, and indeed he’s as wily as he is witty and worldly.
