SUMMARY:Q&A with William LeGoullon
DESCRIPTION:Modified Arts presents its first solo exhibition from William LeGoullon in seven years–representing a return for the artist who\, in the intermediary years\, has exhibited his work both nationally and internationally including in Los Angeles\, Philadelphia\, San Francisco\, Fort Collins\, Santa Barbara\, Seattle\, and Belgrade\, Serbia.  He is interested in exploring the ways that tangible items can portray and embody a landscape\, both literally and metaphorically. (Un)Intended Targets is on view at Modified Arts through February 13\, with a reception during First Friday on February 5\, 6 – 10pm\, and a Q&A with William LeGoullon on February 13 from 12 – 4pm. This exhibition is part of PhotoTapas\, celebrating February as Arizona’s month of photography. \n(Un)Intended Targets is concerned with the abusive and often unregulated relationship among recreational shooters and specific locations frequently visited by them in central Arizona. By referencing a trajectory that has overshadowed the western frontier since men from the east first traveled here\, William examines the experiential sense of a present-day landscape obscured by the familiar and romanticized image of a gun-toting cowboy. A thread within the fabric of American culture\, firearms have traditionally orchestrated dominance not only over opposing human forces\, but geographic as well. This pursuit of dominance continues today as a perplexing narrative yielding a disregard for land while simultaneously providing opportunity for strangely seductive amusement\, and even\, arguably\, a reason to affiliate with nature\, for better or for worse. \n \nHe is interested in exploring the ways that tangible items can portray and embody a landscape\, both literally and metaphorically. The objects he finds and photographs have been thoughtlessly left behind\, often on National Forest Land\, after being used for legal and illegal target practice. The puzzling characteristics these remnants acquire due to forces both human and natural help to reinterpret them as representations of both pleasure and violence. This association mimics that of a picturesque desert fiercely interrupted by gunfire\, target debris\, and the sulfuric smell of shells and casings. Drawing connections to the lawless and erratic nature of the once wild west\, William provides context to these environments and the various symmetries between nature and the human experience.
