	What does it mean to be "white" in America and how have artists over the past decade explored and addressed this issue in their art? Whiteness, A Wayward Construction, is a thought provoking publication exploring the image WHITENESS of "whiteness" in the public imagination as seen through contemporary art, instead of through historical development. Author/curator Tyler Stallings’ brilliant selection of contemporary works from the political 1990’s movements establishes a deeper understanding regarding the overwhelming power that being "white" actually has over other races. Works by 26 artists are then grouped into three sections: "White Out", "Mirror, Mirror…", and the "Graying of Whiteness". Essays by David R. Roediger, Amelia Jones, and Ken Gonzalez-Day. A brilliant exhibition preserved in an elegantly designed publication.

This first survey of Stone’s work includes writings by leading essayists Norman M. Klein, Peter Lunenfeld, Judith E. Vida, M.D., and Ralph Rugoff.
