i was first introduced to her work when i randomly decided to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. i feel lucky! the book about her, SEEING THE UNSPEAKABLE is also highly recommended.

It seems like most of the negative comments on Walker's work is from failed artist and art historians who cannot unpack their own hang ups to see the forest from the trees. You'll be angry for the rest of your lives talking about art to anyone who'll listen.

I love it!!

@mr7tomsawyer Also check out Kara's comments in the video posted by sfmoma. In it she articulates how easy it is for her to imagine committing atrocities like those depicted in her art. The title of the vid is "Kara Walker on her uneasy relationship with her own imagination". This vid is absolute proof of what I've been saying about her for some time. It's only easy to commit atrocities if you are a Psychopath. So why are we pretending that a psycho is a great artist?

@mr7tomsawyer Any self aware person of color that spends time examining the history of Blacks in America recognizes that slavery had a profound effect on our consciousness. Once thats acknowledged the question becomes how does one deal with that history. A healthy person trys to grow beyond it. They don't celebrate it. They don't exploit it and make a mockery of it like Kara Does. She's basically making Black exploitation art. Similar to Black exploitation films.

@ResearchKnowledge123 read some books on her artwork. art is more than its immediate representation, you have to look deeper than that. art is more than just pretty or violent in kara's case. she is sick but she has the courage to share it with her audience in her art work. shes showing how the manifestations of slavery have contaminated the present mindset of people. it provokes us to asess our own desires and probe whats beneath the level of our subconscious.

I found her work provocative...My introduction to this artist happened while I was visiting Atlanta's High Art Museum. The piece was called "The means to an end a shadow Drama in five acts". Trust me when I say the piece was not something you walked past and not noticed.

Saw her work for the first time at the Walker in Minneapolis - thanks Kara
