LG WILLIAMS, one of the master imaginations of American art and one of the most acute observers of American life and art history, turns his immense artistic and historiographic talent to a portrait of the formidable Interstate S. In 1-5, LG transports the reader into the traffic, the blacktop, the mind-numbing boredom, and the flat horizons of California's central thoroughfare. We come to know this freeway, through LG's splendid and percipient eye, in ways we have not up to now - his view of the road, his worries about traffic, his concern about making good time and not getting killed along the way. LG brings this major artery to life at this key moment in the demise of the great state. He also illuminates the force and weight of the state's great central valley, the produce and water deliveries, and the institutions of government, which support both. More than any other interstate, California is still largely governed by the ideas invoked by this roadway.LG WILLIAMS is the Emma Hennings Distinguished Professor of Visual Art and Art History at D(D).DDDD University in Honolulu, Hawaii. He received his M.F.A from the University of California, Davis and B.A. from the Kansas City Art Institute. Williams also holds an honorary Ph.D. from ISSA, Cedar Rapids, IA. Williams has taught art, art history and art appreciation courses at the University of California-Davis, University of Southern California, California College of the Arts, and the University of Hawaii, to name a few. Author of many books and publications on art, art criticism, and poetry, Williams has appeared in Modern Painters, Juxtapoz, Artweek, Art Papers, Village Voice, San Francisco Chronicle, Honolulu Bulletin, Sacramento Bee, LA Weekly, Maui Weekly, SF Weekly, and The Bay Guardian. Williams’s recent curatorial projects include Wally Hedrick’s, War Room, at the San Francisco International Art Fair.
