| | Past Exhibitions | 2001 | Bruce Yonemoto: Screen Gems |
 | | Courtesy of the artist and Blum and Poe, Santa Monica, CA Bruce Yonemoto's self-reflexive, multimedia works of art in the deftly titled exhibition Screen Gems (a reference to the 1950s movie magazine with the same title) investigate how race, ethnicity, identity, time, and meaning are constituted through the apparatus of film, Hollywood, and the media. |
 | | Working with screens, monitors, imagery, objects, footage, and ideas from video, film, television, and popular culture, Yonemoto examines personal, cultural, and social memory and their roles in the construction of identity. |
 | | Opposite these screens, a small television monitor plays a montage of 1950s television commercials that aired during Yonemoto's childhood. |
