ZUGZWANG 22
BY BRIGHTWORK FELLOW ANDRÉ LEON GRAY

APRIL 27 - MAY 25, 2019

This exhibition, which marks the artist’s 22nd year of art production, examines how the construct of racial identity is used as a political tool for control within social hierarchies on life’s chess board. The title, “Zugzwang 22,” is a word play on the phrase catch-22 and the chess term used to describe a situation where one's obligation to make the next move is a weakened disadvantage.
