Curated by Valerie Cassel

Anne Wilson’s captivating form of stitch witchery conjures works from string, hair, and cloth, offering a fresh, foreboding, and fetishistic take on textile-based media. Her mutable Topologies, an epic landscape of odd constructions made from black lace, thread, and pins strewn over a white wood support, was a highlight of the 2002 Whitney Biennial. Now, as part of CAM’s Perspectives series, the Chicago-based artist displays a trio of installations dating from the last four years that expand on feminine/domestic notions to include allusions to sex and death, the organic and the electronic. Organized by associate curator Valerie Cassel, who also contributes an essay to the catalogue, the show unveils Wilson’s most recent work, Errant Behaviors, a video and sound installation.
