Presents a pioneering exploration of Asian American visual art. This title focuses on works produced during the watershed 1990s, when surging Asian immigration had significantly altered the demographic, cultural, and political contours of Asian America, and a renaissance in Asian American art and visual culture was well underway.
Focuses on works by sixteen Asian American artists born in the late 1960s and 1970s, including Patty Chang, Kaz Oshiro, and Jean Shin, to explore this generation of artists, the prevalent themes in their art, and the different ways they configure identity in their work. This title features examples of painting, sculpture, and video and art.
