Black Belt November 6, 2003

Curated by Christine Y. Kim, this timely exhibition will feature twenty-two contemporary artists of diverse backgrounds reflecting on an intersection of black and Asian-American cultures. It will examine the shared and oftentimes conflicting fascination with Bruce Lee, Kung Fu and Eastern martial arts. Growing up in the 70s and 80s and experiencing the phenomenon first-hand, the contemporary artists in this exhibition will introduce a variety of discourses on the subject through 60 works in all media --sculpture, painting, drawing, video-- and site-specific installations. Works will be installed in the lobby and main galleries. Catalogue will be available.
