Book Description
This catalogue was published in conjunction with the exhibition “Kehinde Wiley: The World Stage - China” held at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center from
February 11 - May 6, 2007. It is fully illustrated with 19 color images and essays by Jennifer Jankauskas, Greg Tate and Paul D. Miller aka Dj Spooky.
The World Stage: China features a selection of paintings by former Studio
Museum artist in residence Kehinde Wiley from his new multinational “World Stage” series. The exhibition, featuring paintings created during Wiley’s long-term travels in China, was the first in this series, for which Wiley
temporarily relocates to different countries and opens satellite studios to become familiar with local culture and history (other “World Stage” sites include Lagos, Dakar, India, Poland and Turkey). Wiley, known for his
stylized paintings of urban African-American male youths in poses borrowed from eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European figurative paintings, continues that process, this time with models in poses based on regional sources.
