"MEDI(t)Ations: Adrian Piper’s Videos, Installations, Performances, and Soundworks 1968-1992"
2000-08-06 until 2000-11-05
Museum of Contemporary Art, LA
Los Angeles, CA, USA

MOCA at California Plaza MEDI(t)Ations is a survey of Adrian Piper’s work from the past twenty-five years and is the first exhibition to bring together nearly all of Piper’s video and audio work. Prolific in media and time-based art, Piper’s work bridged the movements of Minimalism, Conceptual Art, and Performance Art, and over time became increasingly more political. She examines issues of racial stereotyping, miscegenation, and passing, and through this charged content, Piper seeks to restructure the viewer’s perception of these issues.

Also included in the exhibition are video and audio interviews with the artist. The exhibition is organized by independent curator Dara Meyers-Kingsley and is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue Adrian Piper: A Retrospective 1965-2000. Published in conjunction with her retrospective exhibition, organized by the University of Maryland Baltimore County Fine Arts Gallery, the catalogue includes critical essays by Piper and critic Laura Cottingham. The exhibition is coordinated by MOCA Associate Curator Connie Butler.
