Charles Gaines is a renowned conceptual artist whose practice spans five decades. Gaines is known for using systematic approaches to his work as a way of visualizing underlying social constructs in language, history and race. He is the subject of an exhibition at RIT, curated by Ellen Tani, who is an Assistant Professor of Art and is currently developing a book about Gaines. This program will feature works by and in collaboration with Charles Gaines alongside films and videos that Tani has selected from the VSW collections.
