Title:
Creative Time Presents Kara Walker (Signed)
Description:
Kara Walker at the Domino Sugar Factory, May 10–July 6, 2014
“In late spring of 2014, Creative Time presented the first large-scale public project by Kara Walker, one of the most important artists of our era. Sited in the sprawling industrial relics of Brooklyn’s legendary Domino Sugar Factory, Walker’s physically and conceptually expansive installation—a massive, sugar-coated sphinx-like woman—responded to the building and its history.
As is her custom, the artist gave this work a title that is at once poetic and descriptive:
At the behest of Creative Time Kara E. Walker has confected:
Kara Walker - A Subtlety
or the Marvelous Sugar Baby
an Homage to the unpaid and overworked Artisans who have refined our Sweet tastes from the cane fields to the Kitchens of the New World on the Occasion of the demolition of the Domino Sugar Refining Plant”
