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.
