Challenging the racializing of Black artists’ work, the exhibition confronted the discourse around race difference in the United States by including excerpts of writing by art critics who had discussed the featured artists. On the 30th anniversary of this event, this publication reprints the eponymous 1993 volume documenting the show, which contained essays by Gaines, Lord and Berger, and the transcript of a roundtable of artists and writers. Reproducing images of the exhibition in color for the first time, this new edition augments the original publication with an essay by poet and scholar Fred Moten; recent conversations between Lord and Gaines; an interview with Gaines by Moten; and a new roundtable discussion moderated and edited by curator Jamillah James and Thomas (T.) Jean Lax.Artists include: Jean-Michel Basquiat, Renée Green, David Hammons, Ben Patterson, Sandra Rowe, Gary Simmons, Lorna Simpson, Carrie Mae Weems.This book was published in conjunction with Kunstlerhaus Stuttgart and The BrickCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 279mmContributor: Rhea Anastas (Edited by), Charles Gaines (Edited by), Jamillah James (Edited by), Eric Golo Stone (Edited by), Rhea Anastas (Text by), Maurice Berger (Text by), Charles Gaines (Text by), Catherine Lord (Text by), Fred Moten (Text by)Genre: Arts & PhotographyTopic: Society & Culture, Social SciencesRelease Year: 2025 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
