In 2013, Asian Pacific Islander
Cultural Center (APICC) presented “75: Flo Oy Wong . . . The Whole
Pie,” a celebration of the seventy fifth birthday of artist Flo Oy
Wong. The exhibition, curated by Pamela Wu Kochiyama, Darryl Smith,
and Laurie Lazer of the Luggage Store Gallery, opened on November
8th and closed on December 28th, with an opening reception with
the artist from 6 – 8 pm on November 8th.
For the exhibition, Flo invited 75 local, regional and
national artists to contribute art pies. All of these works
created by Wong and the invited artists share a common thread.
They are narratives which either address the deconstruction of a
stereotype or tell the stories of under-represented men and women
whose lives and hard work have made a significant yet unknown
difference in this country.
