This is one of three catalogues published for the exhibition As Public As Race, a series of performances organized during the summer of 1992. James Luna's performance was held on June 3.

On the exhibition:

"The exhibition As Public as Race was concieved in the context of Race and the Body Politic, a summer residency organized by Chris Creighton-Kelly for the Art Studio Program at the Banff Centre. As a series of performances, the exhibition attempts to bring pressing issues concerning race, which were discussed by artists participating in the residency to a wider audience. Three artists were invited and supported to create new work: Margo Kane, James Luna and Paul Wong. All three presented work based on their examinations of the complex relationships between race, identity and stereotypes, commenting in different ways on a society largely blind not only to racist attitudes but non-white cultural practices in general" (23).
