For more than a decade, Los Angeles-based artist Rodney McMillian (born 1969) has worked in sculpture, painting, video, and performance to explore the intersections of race, class, gender, and socioeconomic policy. Co-published by the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania and The Studio Museum in Harlem on the occasion of Rodney McMillian: The Black Show and Rodney McMillian: Views of Main Street, this volume offers an in-depth examination of McMillian’s varied practice and his meditations on social systems, art history, science fiction, and public policy.
