MICHAEL WAUGH: ‘LEAD ME ASTRAY’ Mr. Waugh’s work is
about close reading. Several large drawings of 19th-century
landscapes are composed of handwritten phrases, cut and pasted in
nonsensical order, from American presidential inaugural speeches. A
drawing of the Spanish colonial explorer Cabeza de Vaca, who landed
in Florida, is installed in a room plastered with promotional materials
from a different colonialist enterprise, the last Art Basel/Miami fair.
