K Space Contemporary is pleased to present a new multi-media exhibition entitled Privacy, More or Less by William VB in the Starr Gallery. The exhibition opens May 2nd with the downtown Corpus Christi ArtWalk and runs through May 30, 2025.
Privacy, More or Less is a collection of images, sculpture, sound, and installation that invites a closer look at the familiar. The artwork recontextualizes the American suburban aesthetic, exploring the nuanced and tense relationship between privacy and community that every neighborly relationship must navigate. William VB’s work is rooted in a daily practice of careful observation and street photography. Through image sequencing and experimental printmaking, the visuals of a typical backyard are reused and reimagined. The 3d works in the show are built from common items, but altered and combined to create a dream-like environment that is laced with subtle but consistent tension. Wandering through his neighborhood and the shopping centers that surround his home allows time to take photos, and highlight overlooked spaces and moments by sealing them permanently within a photograph.
“These walks, which I consider precious, also give time to reflect on the materials of the neighborhood–cedar privacy fences, grass, baseballs, and the competing sounds of dogs barking and lawnmowers. These objects of Americana are rearranged and reoriented, becoming grounds for poetic mystery. There are many connections to my personal history buried within this exhibition, but I invite visitors to explore their own histories, associations, and questions within the space.” - William VB
