DESCRIPTION:This substantial solo exhibition-the artist's first in a U.S. m
 useum and the Wexner Center's first organized by Senior Curator Catharina M
 anchanda-brings you a firsthand look at his intriguing work. 
\n
\nRaised i
 n Cape Town and Johannesburg\, South Africa\, and now based in Berlin\, Rob
 in Rhode has emerged in the last decade as a highly influential artist. Fro
 m an acute personal perspective shaped by South Africa's history of racial 
 discrimination\, he highlights the push and pull between the liberating for
 ce of the individual's imagination and the confines of media-driven stereot
 ypes.
\n
\nIn many of his best-known projects\, Rhode draws crude\, life-si
 ze outlines of everyday objects on house facades or city streets and intera
 cts with them as if they were the actual physical objects. Here\, he'll cha
 rt his development with some 20 key examples of wide ranging work: photogra
 phic storyboards\, animations\, films\, and performancesn shown in video do
 cumentation. In some he focuses on street activities such as gambling\, dri
 nking\, or theft. Others stage sequences in which he appears as an imaginar
 y sports superstar\, music performer\, or magician. Eager to engage the Wex
 ner Center's architecture\, Rhode is also developing an installation specif
 ically for our lower lobby. There and throughout the show\, you see how the
  artist gives a radical twist to techniques such as illusionism and site sp
 ecificity\, reenergizing them as fresh and potent tools.
