Christopher Williams's forty-five-work survey frames the last three years of his career-spanning metaarchive--including a recent body of photographs the West Coast artist half-jokingly refers to as his "Maoist phase." The moral center: a suite of images featuring a '64 Renault (with California plates) tumped on its side, the light just catching the smeared fingerprints on its steel body, a make-do barricade riffing on French uprisings more than two decades removed (and obliquely bowing to Rouch's 1961 Chronicle of a Summer). Hermetic her·met·i·cal (-  -k l)adj. , as always, yet somehow acerbically clear, Williams's project will be amplified, in all its productive contradictions, by an artist's book planned in conjunction with the show's organizer, Grenoble Grenoble (grənô`blə), city (1990 pop. 153,973), capital of Isère dept., SE France, on the Isère River at the foot of the Alps. It is the hydroelectric center of France and has an important nuclear-research center. Metals, electrical equipment, chemicals, and food products are the chief manufactures. director Yves Aupetitallot. May 28-Sept. 10.
