Bill Traylor

Presented in conjunction with the launch of the Bill Traylor Database, this installation considers Traylor's work through the networks of images, histories, places, and records that have shaped its circulation and study.

Rather than presenting a traditional exhibition of artworks, the gallery has assembled a series of moving-image displays that reflect the structure of the database itself: layered, interconnected, and archival in nature. Across several monitors, visitors encounter selections of Traylor's artworks, archival footage of Montgomery, and materials related to the development of the online database, extending the project into physical space through multiple points of entry.

The Bill Traylor Database is a free, publicly accessible, ongoing online research resource developed by Ricco/Maresca Gallery in collaboration with Jeffrey Wolf, producer of Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts.
