Sometimes, this just means a selection of
familiar hits to
accompany our

Besides impressive works by less
familiar African artists, it has Kendell Geers» Postpopfuck and his ultraviolet deadly sins, a tangled thread painting by Ghada Amer, Chris Ofili's stamp - sized wigged head, Yinka Shonibare's dueling dandies, Andy Warhol's sketches of Mohammed Ali and Paul Miller's (aka DJ Spooky) wall - size visual remix,
accompanied by «non-cliche» remixes of African
music — including a car horn orchestra, national anthems, and the words of Idi Amin, Nelson Mandela, and Malcolm X.
