Unnamable The Ends of Asian American Art

"In her exquisitely perceptive approach to art and curation, Susette Min turns the category of Asian American art on its head. The artists surveyed inUnnamablewrestle with the & predicament of being categorized as an Asian American artist. Through textured, impeccably-researched, and richly-rendered examinations of their works, Min curates these avant garde practitioners into delightful group shows focused on the themes of labor, practices of gleaning, and the disappearing body of the Asian/American artist.A provocative challenge to liberal multiculturalisms fetish for and diminishment of ethnic and/or minority artists,Unnamable reformulates the category of Asian American art, and by doing so, revitalizes its enclosing structure." - Rachel C.
