Kara Walker: My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love August 5, 2008

This is a full-scale American museum survey of the work of Kara Walker. Set in the American South before the Civil War, Walker's compositions play off stereotypes to portray, often grotesquely, life on the plantation. The exhibit features works ranging from Walker's signature black cut-paper silhouettes to film animations to more than one hundred works on paper.
