Yinka Shonibare MBE,
"FABRIC-ATION"

"YSP (Yorkshire Sculpture Park) presents the UK’s most extensive exhibition to date by British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare, MBE. FABRIC-ATION features over 30 works made between 2002 and 2013, including sculpture, film, photography and painting, many of which are shown in the UK for the first time.

Addressing issues pertinent to today’s society in Shonibare’s practice – the complexities of contemporary identity, dislocation, multiculturalism, global food production, corporate power and revolution – the exhibition traces how Shonibare has framed these concerns within a historical context, investigating the shaping role of the British Empire and the colonial past."
