Art is such a racket; I love it. Hopefully, this piece will be mine, if the price is right.

Piece: Ruins of Empire II or The Earth Swallows the Master's House (2024)



Across the museum's sixth-floor terrace, Kiyan Williams's outdoor sculptures also use material as a metaphor for fragility. Visible from the street as visitors approach the museum, the leaning, brown structure of Ruins of Empire II or The Earth Swallows the Master's House (2024) is a replica of the north façade of the White House made in steel and dirt. Natural materials like soil are common in the artist's practice, who had their first museum solo show at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles in 2022, and they often use these materials to consider how earth and land hold memories and act as witnesses to history.

The cracked, tilted form of the eroding White House reflects the fractured political systems of the U.S. Furthering this message, the building is topped with an upside-down American flag. Juxtaposing the fragile material of the earthen sculpture is an aluminum statue of Marsha P. Johnson that stands nearby and holds a sign that reads "power to the people." Observing the degradation of the White House with an expression that is calm and resolute, the image of Johnson appears as determined in delivering her message as the trans activist was in her lifetime.

If the material can be stretched, them so can materialism.
