Adrian Margaret Smith Piper (born September 20, 1948) is an American conceptual artist and philosopher. Her work addresses ostracism, otherness, racial passing and racism.
Racism is a visual pathology.
I am black. What are you going to do about it?
My work is an act of communication, and it's important to me the way what I assert lands, and where it lands within someone who sees it. On the other hand, I also recognize fully and live by the principle that once the work leaves my studio, I cannot control the effects it has.
One reason for making and exhibiting a work is to induce a reaction or change in the viewer. . . . In this sense, the work as such is nonexistent except when it functions as a medium of change between the artist and viewer.
