SEPTEMBER EXHIBITION:

OPENS Friday, September 14, 2007 6-9 PM

RAMEKON O’ARWISTERS (SuperArt Hero)
"American Cuisine"
Luggage Store Annex (aka 509 Cultural Center)
509 Ellis Street (btw. Leavenworth and Ellis), SF, CA 94109

gallery hours: Wednesday – Saturday, Noon – 5 PM

Based on his premise that people of color will be the dinner served on America's Last Supper, conceptual artist Ramekon O'Arwisters (SuperArt Hero) creates a series of original visual art and sculpture in which representations of ordinary food items serve as coded carriers of social and political commentary on American society. In his exhibition "American Cuisine", images of food associated with African Americans, Asians, Native American, such as Oreos, Brazil nuts, watermelon, sweet potatoes, apples, chopsticks, and bananas, become visual stand-ins for the racial and class prejudices deeply embedded inside American culture.
