Upstairs, downstairs. Downstairs is filled with kitsch, some minorly interesting. Upstairs has better stuff, some nice paintings of "idyllic Africanity" and some good images by David Hammons. The album cover piece is surprisingly compelling.
When I think Black artists: only Basquiat and Chris Ofili spring to mind. Which shows why this show should have been better.
