I actually stopped by this exhibit last weekend...it's awesome go check it out. It's
photo/documentary film exhibition that explores how 25 prominent African-Americans define being black in America. The project, photographed and filmed by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and moderated by film critic Elvis Mitchell, was turned into an HBO documentary and features the likes of Chris Rock, Russell Simmons, Serena Williams, Toni Morrison, Colin Powell, and Slash. The large-scale portraits coupled with the looping HBO film on three flat-screens should prove to be powerful portraits.
