Yoko Inoue’s installation titled How American?Anonymous/Self/Portrait presents a unique approach to portraiture. Related to past performance work by Inoue, the artist herself becomes the subject matter while simultaneously relinquishing specific control of her project through the delegation of the work’s execution to others. A number of artists were asked by Inoue to make portraits of her wearing a wool cap with an embroidered American flag, concealing the artist’s identity and ethnicity. The artists asked to participate are Brandon Soloff, Melanie Baker, Darius Ziura, Alina Zakaite, and an "anonymous street painter." The work investigates the complexities of ethnic assimilation through the masking of identity and an assumed patriotism driven by market forces.
