Yinka Shonibare has this wild exhibit up at the Brooklyn Museum until September 20th. You might want to go see it. It's SIIIIICK and full of seedy themes about early European colonialism of Africa and how it relates to the Nigerian artist's identity. Don't worry, this is only a mid-career show for him. Yep, mid-career. I can't wait to see what other inventions he has to come. I'm not sure what could top life size mannequins engaged in all sorts of mind bending activities, dressed in handmade period pieces made of Dutch wax printed fabrics.
Walking pet ocelots in diamond leashes? Check. Girl on girl action? Check. Stage coach? Check. Ornate Costumes? Check. Sex acts galore? Check. Female Pistol duel? Check.
B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
