"This book and CD-ROM, together with the major exhibition they accompany, are an acknowledgment and celebration of Piper’s considerable achievement. They form a survey of his work to date and, …appear at a time of widespread realignment and transition among artists whose work has come to be identified with issues of cultural difference…in his important critical essay on Keith Piper’s work and its context published here, Kobena Mercer points out that the ‘cohesion’ now widely associated with black art in the 1980s masks the fact that at this time “hitherto ficed and stable ideologies of ‘race’, nation and ethnicity were being thrown into crisis.”“ -Gilane Tawadros (Director, Institute of International Visual Arts) and David Chandler (Projects Manager, Institute of International Visual Arts), Foreword. Essay by Kobena Mercer, Witness at the Crossroads: An Artist’s Journey in Post-colonial Space.
