Yinka Shonibare MBE
Exhibition Catalog
In conjunction with the current retrospective exhibition, this catalog covers Shonibare's wide range of media sculpture, painting, photography, video, and installation pieces that explore matters of race, class, cultural identity, and history. The artist is best-known for his use of a Dutch-wax fabric, which is incorporated into Victorian dresses, covering sculptures of alien figures with it or stretching it onto canvases. He uses the fabric as a metaphor to address issues of origin and authenticity. Essays by Rachel Kent and Robert Hobbs.
