The American West has long attracted artists, especially those who focus on the great outdoors. Richard T. Walker's new solo exhibition follows in this tradition. But whereas a previous generation of artists like Robert Smithson and Alan Sonfist emulated the grandeur of nature as a remedy to the sterile gallery, Walker and contemporaries such as Glenn Rudolph and Russell Crotty adopt a more sensitive touch to their surroundings. Using video, digital images, and critical text, i want to want you like i wanted to want you assumes the perspective of a disenfranchised Thoreau who doesn't celebrate the splendor of the wild, but rather seeks to connect with it.
