Book Description: Shonibare employs a wide range of media sculpture, painting,photography, video, and installation pieces to explorematters of race, class, cultural identity, and history. The artist isbest-known for his use of a Dutch-wax fabric, which, thoughlabeled as African, actually originated in Dutch Indonesia andwas introduced to Africa by British manufacturers via Dutchcolonizers in the nineteenth century. Incorporating the fabricinto Victorian dresses, covering sculptures of alien figures withit or stretching it onto canvases, Shonibare uses the fabric as ametaphor to address issues of origin and authenticity.Published as a companion to Shonibare s first retrospective atthe Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, Australia, and theBrooklyn Museum of Art, New York, this survey explores allaspects of Shonibare s work, offering a fully comprehensiveportrait of his projects. Whether he is lampooning Victorianpropriety or commenting on the latent ambiguities of the term alien, Shonibare makes art that challenges straightforwardinterpretations. Essays by Rachel Kent and Robert Hobbs,together with a generous selection of color illustrationsexplore this talented young artist s work.
