Before You Lose Your Head

...And before it's too late, head to the Brooklyn Museum this weekend!! The closing exhibition of UK-Nigerian Artist, Yinka Shonibare MBE, generates a vibrant approach to discussing the social colonization and collisions of the Western World and those of his bi- cultural influences. Shonibare's headless installation provides a sense of violence and humor while investigating the relativity of racial history and stereotypes. So if you're in Brooklyn- Shonibare is not to be missed!!!

Also currently on view at the Newark Museum of Art is a special commission by Shonibare in celebration of the Museum's Centennial, entitled Party Time: Re-imagine America. This major site-specific installation, set in the mahogany-paneled dining room of the Ballantine House, will be on display until March 1, 2010.

More of Yinka Shonibare MBE's exhibitions can be seen at James Cohan gallery
