 Represent'n
 At the turn of the new century, a new generation of African-American
 artists is at work on the cutting edge of today's art. Representing a
 new spirit and widening the perimeters of American culture are artists
 like Sanford Biggers, Chakaia Booker, Michael Ray Charles, Ellen
 Gallagher, Lyle Ashton Harris, Glenn Ligon, Kerry James Marshall, Paul
 Miller (aka DJ Spooky, that Subliminal Kid), Kara Walker, and others.
 Bold, highly individualistic, and very gifted, these artists also
 exhibit a clear understanding of the intricacies of the contemporary art
 machine, which enables them to negotiate the mainstream with admirable
 finesse. They are as intent on visibility as they are on defining their
 own perspectives beyond the dictates of history, precedents, or
 community. Our panel of artists and critics explores how this
 distinguished group is reconfiguring our assumptions about
 African-American art.
