"Two exhibitions by Fred Wilson - his largest combined project to date - coincide in this catalogue featuring the artit's fabricated works and site-specific installation at the Allen Memorial Art Museum. Though very different in materials and method, Wildfire Test Pit and Fred Wilson: Black to the Powers of Ten each explore themes of race, time, memory, and meaning. Both call on viewers to reconsider the historical narratives disseminated by scholars and museums. And both show how our perception of history may be altered or obscured through the passage of time." - from inside cover.
