Artist’s description:
“Negro Quota” began as a diagrammatic grid installation of over three hundred fancy white cards daubed with white-out, and five marked with small matte black marks. This developed into a series of objects with “Negro Quota” screen-printed and etched onto them, amplifying the subtext of objectification, dispensability, and mocking empty performative activism gestures regarding diversity and solidarity. These objects have been: fitted caps (one lives in an acrylic display box), a $40 black cotton tote bag, a series of cheap white t-shirts and men’s briefs, prisoners' spit hoods and steel handcuffs.
The screen printed configuration on each t-shirt is unique.
