Carl Robert Pope, Jr. is an African-American artist, working in the mediums of photography and video. His work tackles the issues of race in America, and the AIDS epidemic. ==Exhibitions== ''Toy Camera (series)'' is a project that began in 1982. He began to photograph the black community in Carbondale, Illinois. He used a toy camera because it was less threatening to his subjects. The pictures all have a very homemade, worn look. They depict the life of poverty in the black community in Carbondale. The photographs were hand colored gelatin silver prints.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.davidrumsey.com/amica/amico7104687-101630.html )〕 ''The New Georgia State Flag Project'' in 1994.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thewadsworth.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Matrix-138.pdf )〕 ''Men Women and Children'' in 1990. ''Catharsis: A Ten Year Survey'' in 1991.〔 ''Some of the Greatest Hits of The New York City Police Department'' in 1994.〔 ''Silent Wishes, Unconscious Dreams, and Prayers… Fulfilled'' was a public piece commissioned in 1996. The piece consists of seventeen slabs of brownstone, which are engraved with quotations of Hartford, Connecticut youth who died of domestic or gang violence, drug abuse, or AIDS.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first1=Aaron )〕 In 1999, Pope had an exhibition in Hartford, Connecticut called ''Palimpsest''. In this video installation, “Pope posits his body and consciousness as the embodiment of society’s negative assumptions about race, gender and identity in all of its complexities”. The exhibition consisted of a video installation on a wall, with wall text written by his twin sister, Karen. The video showed Pope’s body being altered in ways to highlight how race is perceived as an intrinsic trait, rather than a superficial one. His body is intrinsic to the work. In fact, in the last segment of the video, Pope has a poem written by his sister tattooed across his entire body.〔 In 2000, Pope created a series of prints named ''Untitled''. All the prints contain quotes that are loosely related. One reads, "Tragedy over time equals comedy!" ''The Bad Air Smelled of Roses'' in 2006.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carl Robert Pope」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
