Catalogue produced to accompany the solo exhibition of Donald Rodney at Rochdale Art Gallery, 19/5/90 - 23/6/90. Exhibition titled Critical: Works 1982 to the present. Opening quote by Donald Rodney: “I am not concerned with facile philosophies of individualistic futilities and am greatly aware of the power and the influence of the artist and visual communicator on his/her audience. This taken to mind, my work challenges the concept of art for arts (sic) sake and without any regret or any apologetic gesture to appease the liberal amongst you.… Introduction by Lubaina Himid, postscript by Maud Sulter. Texts by Donald Rodney, plus monochrome reproductions and edited artist’s CV.
