Hillary Wilder’s site installation piece “A Castle Dark, Sunset” might be construed as narrative as background. This is a dark brooding piece, the sky taking up the majority of the painting. Outside of the canvas along the walls of the gallery is design and several long stripes. The painting references Cathy Smith, who had been the inspiration for Gordon Lightfoot’s song Sundown, and who had been alone in the room at Chateau Marmont with John Belushi when he died. None of this is readily apparent-the references include the fact that the stripes were from Lightfoot’s touring bus, as well as some design taken from Smith’s wallpaper, and the castle references Chateau Marmont, but one has to read the labels to know any of this so this is narrative running underneath the surface rather than out front as is customary.
