Bill Horrigan, who passed away at 73 after battling amyloidosis, was a key figure in promoting time-based art through his role as founding director of the Wexner Center for the Arts. Since its opening in 1989, he cultivated a supportive environment for artists and innovative programming for audiences. His commitment to enhancing Columbus's cultural landscape and making it relevant on a global scale was evident in his endeavors. He also founded the Art and Tech Production Studio, providing essential resources for film and video artists before major institutions recognized their role in contemporary art.
"I was always kind of fearful of Columbus disappearing... we were just treading water. So I thought whatever we did do should be of interest to the world."
"I started listening-this priest was giving a lecture and... I just found it interesting," reflecting on the moment that sparked his lifelong passion for film.
