Question

Salome Asega and Sable Elyse Smith led “We Are Here” tours of this artwork for visitors of color to counter its primarily white audiences. This artwork takes its name from a word for early modern mid-meal presentations also known as entremets (“on-truh-MAY”). Most of this installation’s central feature was demolished after its two-month-long exhibition, but its left hand was retained and exhibited by (-5[1])Sikkema Jenkins in New York and later on the island of Hydra. That central figure of this artwork is sculpted with an arched back and exposed genitals, and was surrounded by 15 sculptural “attendants” (10[1])based (10[1])on blackamoor figurines, (10[1]-5[1])most of which were made of resin (10[1])and coated with molasses. (10[1])For 10 points, name this artwork installed at Brooklyn’s Domino Sugar Refinery (10[2])in 2014, (10[2]-5[1])a sugar-covered (10[1])sphinx (10[1]-5[2])with stereotypical (-5[1])Mammy features, created by Kara Walker. ■END■ (0[8])
