iona rozeal brown examines the globalization and appropriation of hip-hop culture in vibrant large-scale acrylic paintings. brown integrates hip-hop’s stylistic motifs into the compositional framework of Japan’s most illustrious modern artistic tradition: ukiyo-e printmaking. Connecting hip-hop’s material culture to the opulent ukiyo-e world of geishas, samurais, and Kabuki actors, brown reveals the malleable, polymorphic nature of history, culture, and identity. A MOCA Cleveland exclusive.

Solo Exhibition Cleveland MOCA Funded by the Joyce Foundation

iona rozeal brown has been named an 2009 Joyce Foundation Award winner. The Joyce Foundation, based in Chicago and serving the cities of Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit, supports the artistic endeavors of artists of color. brown (in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland) will receive a $50,000 grant to create a new series of work commissioned by the MOCA and to participate in an on-site artist residency program working with advanced high school arts students from the Cleveland area. The students will work alongside the artist to develop a series of painted wooden screens, while other students film a documentary of brown to be shown during her 2010 exhibition at the MOCA along with all of her work from the new series.
