"America made me great."

So says artist Rina Banerjee, reflecting on her immigrant upbringing in New York and Philadelphia's Fox Chase neighborhood, in an interview for the catalog of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts' new exhibition, "Rina Banerjee: Make Me a Summary of the World." It is a statement not of egotism, but of slightly grudging gratitude that despite the prejudice and wrong-headedness she encountered, America gave her the opportunity to become herself.

This mid-career retrospective, the largest show ever devoted to the Indian-born American artist, threatens, at least on paper, to be almost too timely. Her issues — globalism, identity, world trade, change in the natural world, the spread of culture, disease, ideas, and money — are the stuff of each day's headlines.

Fortunately art, when it is good, is not about issues. Instead, it offers visions, ways of looking at the world that reconfigure our thoughts and unleash a flood of feelings.

-- Thomas Hines, Philly Daily News

This @rina.banerjee show at @pafacademy is so beautiful! And I love the way #PAFA uses their space for the curation, never in one place and they absorb the space so well with color and object. Can’t wait to write about this as well! I really enjoyed this! Congrats Rina and PAFA! _ ‘The World as Burnt Fruit.......’, 2009.
