Soul Exchange is an exploration of the art and life of Dennis Paul Williams, a St. Martinville native who has made a lifelong career painting spirits in their heavenly realm. Williams was driven as a child to draw, paint, and explore artistic materials as he embraced his Creole heritage, where every aspect of life revolves around faith, celebration, and beauty. Williams' works have evolved into expressions of his deep spirituality. The objects he creates are imbued with beauty and intrinsic spiritual power. He has works in numerous museums in the U.S. and beyond. Many of his paintings can also be found in private collections around the world. Wiliams has also enjoyed a parallel career as a guitarist for twenty-six years in his brother's band, Nathan Williams and the Zydeco Cha Chas. The relationship between Williams's art, both music and painting, and his spirituality seem to embrace one word: healing. Whether an individual is overcoming illness, loneliness, or despair, Williams's art offers a prayer and moment of counseling. Soul Exchange presents over one hundred works by the artist. It also includes a portrait of Williams by book editor Philip Gould as well as an overview of his art by former Louisiana Poet Laureate Darrell Bourque.

This exhibition catalogue shows photographs of installations almost always including a human and drawings of the conceptual artist Erwin Wurm from Vienna, Austria (b.1954). A certain dematerialization can be noted in his work over the last few years. There is a transition from the material sculptures of the early 1980s , in which he used materials from his carpenter shop such as wood or metal, to the instruction-based pieces of the second half of the 1990s. He pushed the envelope in order to expand his notions of sculpture, whilst increasingly bridging the gap between art and everyday life. He evokes the questions: ‘When does an object stop being an object? At what point does it become a performance?’
