- Title
BREAKING the CODEX: Brendan Fernandes's RECENT WORK.
- Authors
Bourland, W. Ian
- Abstract
The article presents a profile and discusses the work of the Brooklyn, New York-based multimedia artist Brendan Fernandes. The author suggests that the work of the Kenyan-born artist sheds light on the historical and contemporary complexities of identification and migration among contemporary African artists. However, it is argued that Fernandes's art is not Kenyan per se. Individual works discussed include the videos "Foe" and "Performing Foe" and the installation "From Hiz Hands."
