In 1993, at the University of California, Irvine, Charles Gaines and Catherine Lord mounted "The Theater of Refusal: Black Art and Mainstream Criticism", a category-breaking exhibition of Black artists from different generations, working across Fluxus, Conceptualism, assemblage, photography, and new forms of installation. Challenging the racializing of Black artists’ work, the experimental exhibition confronted the discourse around race difference in the United States by including excerpts of writing by art critics alongside Gaines’s research on the reception of the exhibition’s artists in a reading room.
