men, and the struggle for political rights for black people in America. In the end, it was not only the presence of such high-art figures who stood out, but the fact that they were all there—in the gallery, in the streets, in the country. The spirit of resistance and the defiance of power were the main theme of the exhibition. Even the exhibition itself was a protest against the institutions that were complicit in the colonial domination of America. The text that accompanied the installation spoke of a feeling of dislocation and exclusion, and of the need for political action. In this sense, the show served as a memorial to those who have been forgotten. It is an act of remembrance that has been preserved, and one that is essential to the maintenance of political freedom and political resistance.

African Art pre-1900 colonialism American African American artists.The exhibition included paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and film. The earliest works in the show, from the early 50s, were more abstract and figurative, but not overtly political. In the paintings and drawings, of the 80s and 90s, the artist focused on the human figure, and the emphasis shifted to the human body. The body became a metaphor for individuality. In one series, for example, the artist depicted her own body in various states of undress. In another series, she depicts herself as a naked woman, her legs splayed, her breasts exposed, or in a series of erotic photographs, she seems to be rubbing her thighs. In one series of drawings, a woman with her legs up lies on the ground, her right hand and right foot pointing in a variety of positions. In another series of photographs, a woman with her legs up appears to be masturbating. The focus of the drawings is the body, and the figures provocative poses and sexual positions suggest a world beyond the body.In the sculptures, paintings, and photographs, the artists attempts to locate a relationship between the body and the figure. The figure becomes a part of the sculpture, a substitute for the body. In the photographs, the artists hands and feet are folded over her crotch. In the paintings, they are depicted as nude. The bodies are depicted as objects. The bodies of the female figure are marked with a number of small, squarish circles, a pattern that echoes the circles of the circles in the sculptures. The circles, like the circles in the sculptures, are in the process of being filled, but arent quite there. The circles are almost complete, but the work is not quite there. The circles also evoke the eye, and here the artist seems to be looking at a mirror, a reflection, a reflection of herself. The circles seem to represent the figure and to be the result of a process of looking.

African Art pre-1900 colonialism American African American art, and it is in this context that one might read the works of the American artist David Lipski as a critique of the artists role as social worker. In the text accompanying this show, Lipski describes his African American subjects as often unable to participate fully in the public sphere. The artists deliberate refusal to engage in the kinds of activities that are often seen as essential to social interaction has resulted in a series of works that remain difficult to comprehend. The works that were shown here seem to be a critique of the stereotype of the black artist as the submissive worker. One works to understand the concept of black artist as an outsider, as a person who has not been part of the social network, and as an individual who has to find a way to be viewed. But it is only through the works of Lipski that this concept can be clearly articulated. His paintings are based on the juxtaposition of image and place, and his practice is rooted in the politics of the everyday, in the form of his daily interactions with his fellow workers. Lipskis works on paper are simultaneously sensitive and ironic, playful and critical, and they have a certain sentimental value. In one piece, for example, a small drawing of a body is juxtaposed with a larger drawing of a bare-breasted woman; the latter is a collage of a woman with a svelte model and a man. Lipski takes the role of the menial worker, and he is also interested in the relationship between the male body and the body of the artist. Another work, titled Self-portrait, 2002, was a collage of a photograph of Lipski, his right hand pressed against his chest, holding a paintbrush and a palette; the image was taken from an old Self-Portrait magazine.In Lipskis works on paper, there is a playful disjunction between the image and the signature.

African Art pre-1900 colonialism American African American artists, has been interpreted as a form of appropriation. On the other hand, the work of the American artist and activist George McNeil, who was born in Nigeria and came to the United States in the 1960s, is often seen as appropriating the African American body, yet his works are both abstract and representational, and incorporate elements of Western painting. The artist is also part of a larger tradition of black American painters, including Jasper Johns, Richard Diebenkorn, and Robert Ryman, that is often seen as appropriating the American African American body.The exhibition also included a few works that clearly appropriated the American African American body. A series of paintings by John Baldessari, for example, depict himself as a black man, dressed in black, with a beehive on his head and a baseball hat on his head. In a number of paintings, the same black men are depicted with baseball hats on their heads. But Baldessaris paintings do not appear to be confrontational, and instead contain elements of the traditional American Indian landscape. In one work, a black woman wears a hoop earring and a wig while standing in front of a rock formation. In another, a black man stands with his hand over his mouth, staring at a man with a baseball hat and a beehive. The scene is reminiscent of the iconic scene from the 1951 film Don King, in which a black man stares at a white man with a baseball hat and a beehive on his head. The scene is a parody of the romanticized image of the African American, who is often portrayed as a white woman, and who is often seen as a helpless victim of racist violence.In addition to Baldessaris paintings, the show included two sculptures by Afro-Carolina artist Jacqueline G. Johnson. Johnson is an African American woman whose figure is based on an African American woman.
