The title of the exhibition refers to Shonibare's use of colourful patterned
fabrics in his
art;
fabrics that are associated with Africa, but which have their origin in Holland and were intended for the Indonesian market, and which, typically for Shonibare,
illustrate that things are rarely what they seem at first glance.
The
Fabric Workshop and Museum (FWM) has released richly
illustrated publications for two recent Center - supported projects, documenting and reflecting on a performance - based exhibition and a multi-venue visual
art exhibition.
