GARY HILL: Language Willing
Gary Hill: Language Willing presents four new works by one of the founders
of video installation art. For more than 20 years, Hill has used
video imagery with computer manipulation to create powerful installations
that interact with the viewer. Hill’s “time based sculptures” focus
on sound, the human body and speaking in different combinations. The
ASU Art Museum has a history of bringing internationally recognized
and emerging new-media artists to Valley audiences for the first time.
