On view from November 10 through March 7, 2010, the exhibition
features 21 dramatic paintings, photographic series, films and sculptural tableaux, including his famous
headless mannequins that portray the complexities of cultural identity.
It was a small tranquil moment in the midst of a whirlwind time for Mr. Shonibare, whose theatrically exuberant work, with its signature use of
headless mannequins and African fabrics, will be
featured in a major midcareer survey at the Brooklyn Museum starting Friday.
