The Chelsea Manifesto at the DC Arts Center May 15, 2005

Part III: "I Once was a Black Artist,Gay but not Stonewall, and All man/Almost"- Race, alternative sexuality and feminist issues are all discussed in the context of the relevance of identity politics after it's absorption in mainstream culture. The question is what is African -American art post-Basquait and MTV-Raps? Queer art post-"Will and Grace"..Feminist art?..and "avant-garde" art in general after you have Damien Hirst opening a restaurant and the Guggenheim selling Cindy Sherman mugs.
