Fred Wilson on "degradaria"

Artist Fred Wilson reflects on his relationship with “degradaria,” or “stereotypical objects” that reflect a disturbingly racist past, particularly in his piece Me And It (1995). He describes why he wanted to collect and use these “black collectible” objects that he associates with a painful, abusive history.
