A catalog featuring photographs of prints and objects from A/P/A Institute at NYU’s inaugural gallery exhibition Prints of Pop (& War), curated by Roger Shimomura, A/P/A Institute at NYU 2012-13 Artist-in-Residence. Contributors include Roger Shimomura, John (Kuo Wei) Tchen, Crystal Parikh, Tomie Arai, Luis H. Francia, Jennifer Hayashida, and others.
Prints of Pop (& War) is a unique mini-retrospective exhibition of Roger Shimomura the artist, the collector, and the American boy. As a way to contest racism and a way to decolonize what we take for granted, the exhibition juxtaposed the ephemeral, politely hidden racist things that inspired Shimomura with his prints. We invited writers, artists, and scholars to respond to these juxtapositions and their responses, which include poetry, visual art, academic analysis, and personal reflections, are included in the catalog.
