TOO BLACK FOR B.E.T.
Too Black for B.E.T. is a series of text-based, broadside posters that cover an odd breadth of topics such as politics, Harry Potter, Jay-Z lips, terrorism, sex, drugs, racism, sex again, ‘Hurricane Gentrification’, and of course, Star Wars.
Originally, the posters were collected into handmade photocopied zines that I produced as catalogues for the two art exhibitions of the posters, Too Black for B.E.T. in 2002, and Too Black for B.E.T. Episode II: The Black Boy George in 2006. Both exhibitions were held at Philadelphia’s Space 1026 gallery. Now, the 34 posters from the two zines have been collected into a single volume and is available for purchase at Free News Projects.
