Mammygraphs and Trick Baby

Mammygraphs: Mark Steven Greenfield
Trick Baby: Ernest Arthur Bryant III
August 25 – September 27, 2008

Artists’ Talk and Reception:
Tuesday, September 2, 6:00pm – 9:00pm


Chaffey College and the Wignall Museum are pleased to present Mammygraphs: Mark Steven Greenfield and Trick Baby: Ernest Arthur Bryant III from August 25– September 27, 2008. Both concurrent exhibitions are free and open to the public.

Mammygraphs features photographs and sculptural works by LA-based artist Mark Steven Greenfield. Greenfield’s work appropriates historic images from the heyday of blackface minstrelsy. With this provocative selection of images and objects, Greenfield prompts the viewer to consider the effect this history has on our culture today. Mammygraphs surveys the work created over the last ten years of Greenfield’s illustrious career as a visual artist and includes work from Greenfield’s Blackatcha, Post Minstrel, Incognegro series, as well as new, never-before exhibited work from Mammygraphs.

In Trick Baby, Minneapolis-based artist Ernest Arthur Bryant III weaves race, politics, pop culture and art history into his mixed-media assemblages. Utilizing found clothing remnants, hand painted portraits, graffiti and sewn elements, Bryant’s loaded works challenge the cultural constructions and coding that we take for granted every day and that shape our social interactions. Borrowing the title from Iceberg Slim’s book Trick Baby, the exhibition includes five of Bryant’s works. This is Bryant’s first California exhibition.

Bryant and Greenfield will speak about their work prior to the artists’ reception on Tuesday, September 2 from 6:00-7:00 p.m. at the Wignall Museum. Immediately following will be an artists’ reception with light refreshments and entertainment featuring dj Trickmilla.
