Mannequin (Wire Cover) - Chumbawamba
The amazing ART featured = selected works by Titus Kaphar

http://tituskaphar.blogspot.com/

Contemporary artist Titus Kaphar makes oil-on-canvas copies of European and American portrait paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries and reconfigures them in strategic ways to create a dialogue about race, art and representation. His work is at once beautiful and halting as he dances between fictional narrative and history.

A graduate of Yale University, Kaphar makes work that is a timely display of what he sees as an alternative history. He sees his work as "the first sentence in a longer paragraph that the viewer completes." Engaging history through 18th- to 20th-century European and American paintings by noted figures including Édouard Manet and William Blake, Titus places race and social issues front and center.

A fierce Wire fan, I usually dislike hopeless attempts at being as wordlessly perfect they were on Pink Flag, still I must concede I enjoyed this cover very much.
