“Blind Carbon Copy” is a sly appropriation of a day’s corporate drama. Narrative
action item: Global media conglomerate headquartered in New York City
commissions program bringing to the table ethnic diversity. Visionary program
shall jam the culture inbox, host panel discussions, culminate with cutting edge
art exhibition in midtown corporate lobby. Month of June: the Asians. Global
conglomerate enlists core competency to brain dump Asian American artists to
hang their art in beige hallways of media triumphalism. Eleventh and a half hour
division head issues the disintermediate: Shut it down.
At the end of the day refers to what happened during the day – what got dealt,
what got salvaged, what got tossed out. At the end of the day, “Blind Carbon
Copy” re- shuffles the deck to communicate an elliptical difference, even as that
difference opposes clear definable equalities. The featured works vary from
fashion photography to drawing, sculpture, graphic art and video. Much of these
artists works deploy a detachment of assimilative meaning.
Genres of ethnicity, commercial, fine art start to slope from fulfillment of
distinction to interrelations, intricacies and contradictions of meaning, a ghost
without a host gliding past various check points of identity.
