In December 1972 and April 1973, Shigeko Kubota, Mary Lucier, Cecilia Sandoval, and Charlotte Warren conceived of three multimedia concerts at The Kitchen, housed at the time in The Mercer Arts Center. Choosing a name that deliberately reflected the cultural identities of each member, the four artists conceived Red, White, Yellow, and Black as a group and inclusive platform that would highlight their individual backgrounds and experimental practices. The four women presented multimedia work which has notably dematerialized after the concerts, and has since been reconstructed only through scholarly text.
