EXERPTS ABOUT BILL (AND ALEXANDRA) PIERCE, AS
WRITTEN IN THE PRESS:INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH Review by Robert L. Pincus
Radioactive Future - the phrase is forward-looking, in a bleak sort of way. It also has a retro ring to it, conjuring up Cold War images of grade-school youngsters ducking under their desks in practice drills for a Soviet attack.
Pierce toys with us, exploiting the gap between our technological literacy and the nonfunctional reality of his robot. His gleaming equivalent of man is looking good but isn't about to walk and talk. It's a kind of ingenious sculptural prop.
If it were standing alone, like some sort of mechanized host, you might think this show was a gee-whiz homage to science fiction and fact. But the black barrel next to it, labeled Radioactive Future, dispels that first impression, replacing it with a dystopian mood.
