snap judgements

man. i really liked this show, mostly because i enjoy seeing African art.at first i viewed this show and enjoyed it. but the second time, on another day it seemed to me that the show missed the point. it was said by the curater that the show represented the whole of Africa, which was problematic because the majority of the artist in the show were not residents of Africa. Not to mention the lack of painting sculpture and other genres of art. it was a show of photos, an art created by Europeans. there were only two pictures of space outside of the cites which mirror life in our own cities. i am not saying that these pieces do not belong in the show. i am saying that in order for there to be a show that represents the whole of anything, it needs to include all components of the person or thing it represents.period
