SUMMARY:Opening Reception of "Yuge Zhou: Moon Drawings"
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese American Museum of Chicago (CAMOC) is excited to announce the fourth exhibition of the Spotlight Series\, featuring artist Yuge Zhou. Please join us on Saturday\, September 3\, from 3pm-6pm CT for the opening reception. This exhibition will run from September 3 through October 16. Collateral programs of the exhibition include a poetry session in collaboration with the Chicago Poetry Center and a sound performance by local sound artists Kikù Hibino and Chien-An Yuan. \nRSVP for the opening reception here \nIn Yuge Zhou’s ongoing video series Moon Drawings\, we watch her dragging a suitcase in concentric circles through the winter snow and a summer beach under the moonlight in Chicago. The videos were created during the global pandemic travel bans\, and inspired by a Han Dynasty legend about missing loved ones in a faraway land. Much of Zhou’s recent work centers around the great physical and emotional distance between China and America\, two lands she calls home. \nThe Spotlight Series is a new initiative to showcase recent and past work by emerging and mid-career artists of Chinese descent locally. Curated by Larry Lee (Molar Productions)\, the project aims to introduce\, promote and celebrate the divergent artistic visions and experiences of being Chinese in America looking at and reflecting upon our relationship to contemporary visual culture to a wider audience within our community and Chicago. \nAbout the artist\nZhou has exhibited nationally and internationally in prominent art and public venues with an upcoming premiere of her dance film Love Letters at Art on theMART\, a nightly public art projection onto the facade of the Merchandise Mart\, Chicago. Recent awards include Juried Award in the installation category at ArtPrize 2021\, Artist Fellowship Award in Media Arts from the Illinois Arts Council and Honorary Mention in the 2020 Prix Ars Electronica in Linz\, Austria.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception of “Priscilla Kar Yee Lo: Aiming to Please”
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese American Museum of Chicago (CAMOC) is excited to announce the third exhibition of the Spotlight Series\, featuring glass artist Priscilla Kar Yee Lo. Please join us on Saturday\, July 16\, from 3:00-6:00pm CT for the opening reception. This exhibition will run from July 16 through August 28. \nRSVP here. \nThe Spotlight Series is a new initiative to showcase recent and past work by emerging and mid-career artists of Chinese descent locally. Curated by Larry Lee (Molar Productions)\, the project aims to introduce\, promote and celebrate the divergent artistic visions and experiences of being Chinese in America looking at and reflecting upon our relationship to contemporary visual culture to a wider audience within our community and Chicago. \nAbout the artist:\nAs a child of a Chinese immigrant family in North America\, Priscilla was perpetually reminded to be practical about her future. But after over a decade as a health care professional\, she began to feel dissatisfied with the direction of her life. Priscilla turned to creative outlets to find a voice and to explore her identity as a woman of color. She was drawn to glass because it is inherently paradoxical\, constantly in a state of fragility and permanency. She returned to school in 2015 to pursue a Bachelor’s in Craft and Design from Sheridan College and completed her Master of Fine Arts at Illinois State University in 2022. \nPriscilla uses glass and other media to create work as an act of remembrance of the collective intersectional adversity minority women continue to face. Her work highlights the astute way in which our inherent patriarchal society has affected the Asian female position within its structure and how it maintains control through cultural and social expectations and normalized gender roles. Priscilla employs visual language containing artifacts of patriarchy from her childhood that have since become pop culture icons. The symbolism of these images is far removed from their original medium and their patriarchal foundation\, making them easy to manipulate and go undetected while subtly reinforcing social norms and binary systems. Ultimately\, Priscilla views her work as a nostalgic and whimsical\, yet mischievous way of documenting where women\, particularly immigrant women\, are placed within a societally prescribed racial framework. She hopes to initiate discourse about this reality to validate our collective experiences and raise awareness to the continual existence of these issues.

SUMMARY:“The All-American Crew” Book Talk with Author Russell N. Low
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese American Museum of Chicago (CAMOC) is excited to announce this FREE book talk with author Russell N. Low\, as he returns to CAMOC to discuss his new book published this year\, The All-American Crew. Register here.\n\nAbout the book\nOn January 23\, 1943\, a B-24 Liberator and its crew of ten men disappeared without a trace in New Guinea\, leaving ten families wounded permanently and without closure. Now\, after almost 80 years of silence\, using long-forgotten letters and dusty photographs from another era\, the lives and loves of these ten men are brought to life on the pages of The All-American Crew.\n\nThey did not intend to be heroes and would not welcome the description. They were the sons of farmers\, oil company engineers\, cotton brokers\, garment industry workers\, and Chinese laundrymen. Many were descendants of the oldest colonial families in America\, who set foot on the soil of Colonial Virginia in the 1600s. Others came from families that migrated to America in the 1800s from Ireland\, Scotland\, Germany\, Austria\, and China during the tremendous immigration wave that built America. In truth\, this group of young men could only have been formed in America. They were the best that America had to offer. Each was willing to sacrifice everything for the country he loved\, driven by a patriotic fervor that was only matched by his love of flying.\n\nThe All-American Crew is based upon a true story. Stanley’s transformation from a Chinese American boy\, not yet old enough to vote or drink beer\, into a B-24 Liberator nose gunner is set against the lives of the other nine American men\, who are his crew members. Along the way\, Stanley experiences loneliness\, racism\, his first beer\, first romance\, and the horrors of war\, themes that are as relevant today as they were 80 years ago.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for "Spotlight Series: Nicole Leung"
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese American Museum of Chicago (CAMOC) is excited to announce the second exhibition of the Spotlight Series\, featuring artist Nicole Leung. Please join us on Saturday\, May 21\, from 3:00-6:00pm CT for the opening reception. Leung’s site-specific piece “Untitled (Nicole Leung is too American to be Chinese and too Chinese to be American)” will be on view. This exhibition will run from May 21 through July 2.\n\nThe Spotlight Series is a new initiative to showcase recent and past work by emerging and mid-career artists of Chinese descent locally. Curated by Larry Lee (Molar Productions)\, the project aims to introduce\, promote and celebrate the divergent artistic visions and experiences of being Chinese in America looking at and reflecting upon our relationship to contemporary visual culture to a wider audience within our community and Chicago.\n\nRSVP here\n\nAbout the artist\nNicole Leung is an artist born in Queens\, New York\, currently based in Chicago\, Illinois. A recent graduate of Columbia College Chicago with a BFA in Fine Arts\, their work reroutes spatial and interrelational dynamic\, considering the roles and circumstances we have come to believe are inherent to life itself.\n\nNicole explores notions of inclusion and exclusion in their experience of diaspora as a second-generation Chinese-American through the manipulation of the museum space itself\, intentionally obstructing the audience’s ability to enter the gallery space and (experience the text within it) to mimic a sense of displacement in fully identifying with\, and belonging to\, a single culture. This projection of self-assessment is intended to prompt said audience to reconsider their relationship with Chinese heritage in Chicago and throughout the United States\, as one that is too often overlooked\, overgeneralized\, and pushed to the peripherals of our visions. \n\nI bet you can tell just by looking at the back of my head.

SUMMARY:“Chinese Brothers\, American Sons” Book Talk with Author Ed Shew
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese American Museum of Chicago (CAMOC) is pleased to host this FREE book talk with Ed Shew\, author of the historical novel Chinese Brothers\, American Sons. Register here.\n\nTwo Chinese brothers arrive in America in 1854 on a death ship to escape poverty and oppression in China. Li Chang and Li Yu\, ten years younger\, search for Gold Mountain in the historical novel\, Chinese Brothers\, American Sons. Fighting the inhumanity and discrimination of the West\, they work perilously to drive in the Golden Spike in 1869 and become inspirational builders of the first Transcontinental Railroad and this country.\n\nFrom the author\n“It’s the story of two Cantonese brothers who along with tens of thousands of men from southern China conquer the back-breaking construction of the Transcontinental Railroad in the 1860s\, the tunnels through the granite of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. No first-hand account describing the life of a Chinese railroad worker of the Transcontinental Railroad has ever been found. Historians have searched this nation and the winding road back to China\, to the roots of these forgotten\, invisible men. Many were literate\, yet not a scrap of their writing remains. As a Chinese American\, my goal is to tell this little-known story of these brave adventurers.”   – Ed Shew

Curated by Larry Lee (Molar Productions)\, the project aims to introduce\, promote and celebrate the divergent artistic visions and experiences of being Chinese in America looking at and reflecting upon our relationship to contemporary visual culture to a wider audience within our community and Chicago. \nJoin us on Saturday\, March 19th from 3-6pm CT for the inaugural opening reception of Laura Lynn Hsieh: Mahjong and Dumplings featuring ceramics and video by the artist Laura Lynn Hsieh. This exhibitition will run from March 19 through April 29. \nPlease RSVP here \nAbout the artist\nLaura Lynn Hsieh is a first-generation Chinese American who doesn’t speak Chinese. \nGrowing up in an all-white\, Massachusetts town has influenced her work as much as having parents who fled their homeland during wartime and who expect her to maintain ties to a culture she has never known. As an installation artist\, Hsieh’s creative processes involve writing\, text usage\, sculptural and ceramic components\, as well as video and performance. Her work investigates notions of community\, culture\, family\, and the routine of the everyday. \nShe has worked in the apparel\, computer\, and housewares product industries\, working with Chinese manufacturers\, factories\, and laborers and has taught various high school\, undergraduate\, and graduate-level classes in sculpture\, ceramics\, 2D design\, computer programming\, and non-ferrous metals. Hsieh has a B.A. from Hamilton College\, a degree in Fashion Design from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising\, and an M.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC).
