Dream Country
Author's note: During World War II, people of Japanese origin were placed in internment camps across the American West. One of those people was the great sumi-e artist Chiura Obata. The following is a work of historical fiction depicting his time in the Topaz Internment Camp, including a violent assault he suffered at the hands of a fellow internee - likely because Obata was seen as an American apologist. Though I have endeavored to make it as factually accurate as possible, I have taken some small liberties. The work was informed by Obata's art, his writing, his family's memories of this time period, the documentary work of his fellow internees, and government records.

The Understructure: Understanding Sturtevant
Until 2014, Sturtevant was an enigma to the American art world. Her most notorious works, her “repetitions” based off work by her better-known contemporaries, were seen either as curiosities or blasphemy. Like a red-headed stepchild, her name was known but her presence unsolicited. Though her work found much attention in the museums of Europe, she showed only occasionally in American galleries, a painting or two shunted into group exhibitions.

A Wee Fact About Your Favorite Artists...

However, when we think about urine, none of those words seem to apply anymore. It's a waste material at best, and something crude and unsettling at worst.
