Catalogue for solo exhibition by Keith Piper, taking place during a particularly productive period for the artist. The exhibition took place at Rochdale Art Gallery, 3 May - 1 June 1991, though the dates do not appear in the catalogue accompanying the exhibition. The full title of the exhibition was Step Into the Arena: Notes on Black Masculinity & The Contest of Territory. The exhibition, and its accompanying catalogue, touched on overlapping issues of how Black masculinity is constructed, with particular references to Piper’s own life and his place in the emerging Black Art(s) Movement of 1980s Britain. Other subjects examined included the Black Power movement, the Black sports person, and assorted related histories, narratives and arguments. Catalogue is A4, liberally illustrated with colour and monochrome plates. Extensive texts, all written by Piper himself.
