William Fisher, MFA, 1996, Ohio University; BA, 1985, the College of William and Mary; apprentice to woodblock Master Toshii Yoshida, 1989-93, Tokyo, Japan; Associate Professor and Interim Chair, Department of Art, Georgia College; author of the online Art Department Directory at http://billfisher.dreamhost.com; Under Secretary of Southern Cultural Hegemony and Rural Visual Authority, US Department of Art & Technology.
As a critique of the mechanisms of cultural domination, Fisher’s work aims to subvert the tools of hegemony. Recent experiments in shared authorship examine quantification of the individual and identity, cults of the intellect and the expert, and the cynicism of Empire.
