“Blind Carbon Copy” is a sly appropriation of a day’s corporate drama. Narrative

action item: Global media conglomerate headquartered in New York City

commissions program bringing to the table ethnic diversity. Visionary program

shall jam the culture inbox, host panel discussions, culminate with cutting edge

art exhibition in midtown corporate lobby. Month of June: the Asians. Global

conglomerate enlists core competency to brain dump Asian American artists to

hang their art in beige hallways of media triumphalism. Eleventh and a half hour

division head issues the disintermediate: Shut it down.

At the end of the day refers to what happened during the day – what got dealt,

what got salvaged, what got tossed out. At the end of the day, “Blind Carbon

Copy” re- shuffles the deck to communicate an elliptical difference, even as that

difference opposes clear definable equalities. The featured works vary from

fashion photography to drawing, sculpture, graphic art and video. Much of these

artists works deploy a detachment of assimilative meaning.

Genres of ethnicity, commercial, fine art start to slope from fulfillment of

distinction to interrelations, intricacies and contradictions of meaning, a ghost

without a host gliding past various check points of identity.
