I liked his work. So, many different dimensions to this exhibit. I liked the use of African garb mixed with Victorian Aristocracy. Loved the ballet, so many meanings!

Although his aesthetic isn't really that interesting to me, I appreciate his ideas and sentiment.

Loved this exhibit and I think it's very inspirational. Thank you for bringing Shonibare to Brooklyn!

utterly provocative yet subtle and beautiful. i love ballet and the wax print point shoes and tutus were "hot"

I liked it

we wondered why the mannequins tend to be headless... jarrett said that he sees power with no authority. could it be that the art was more about a group of people dressed beautifully with no real authority, but acting in power that may be stolen or just masqueraded?

i wish the museum would have commented on the gender issues that the artist patently ignores.

Most of it is interesting enough, but it's a step too far to hail this as revolutionary. You have to earn the right to be pretentious, I'm not convinced YS has.

amazing design of the very fancy clothes. the ballet was great. im only 13 but i know what good art looks like...and thhis was great art. thank you

We were wondering whether dandys needed to change clothing so many times in one day. if so getting dressed and undressed must have kept them very busy.
