THE ART OF BILL VIOLA

While Viola has been the subject of numerous exhibitions, there has never been an extensive critical appraisal of the full range of his work. In The Art of Bill Viola eminent critics examine the scope of the artist's creations since the 1970s. Their studies includ e the relationship of Viola's art to the religious traditions of both Asia and Europe, the use of space as metaphor within his insta llations, the use of sound in his work, and the impact of its exhibition upon other video artists.
