Wu Tang Killa Beez- Intro
Josh Whitaker
Josh Whitaker
The premise of the show follows a conceptual logic derived from Wu Tang Clans first record deal;-
Wu Tang first achieved acclaim with the self produced 'Protect Ya Neck'. This sparked a bidding war with various record labels. Negotiations were long and resulted from a clause that would allow every member of Wu Tang to record solo albums with other record companies. Wu Tang is a group of solo artists who collaborate, and not a group in which members have side projects.
-All work within the exhibition is collaborative.
-All the artists included primarily have a 'solo' practice.
-All artists are listed on posters, press and publications. But artists names are not included next to the titles of their work.
-The exhibition functions as an album, 12 inch.
-'Killa Beez' makes reference to the associated and affiliated members of Wu tang Clan, known collectively as 'Killa Beez'.
-'Wu Tang Killa Beez' is the initial showing of an ongoing project. Further manifestations will operate under the moniker W.U.F.C
