Nancy Hom & Bob Hsiang, “The Root of Chinese Opera,” 2013.

Description

Gold charger plate, pinwheel, old photograph of Bob Hsiang’s father in a Kunqu performance, contemporary photographs by Bob Hsiang of Beijing opera clubs in the SF Bay Area.

Nancy Hom also made this Chinese Opera pie in honor of Bob’s father (center right image) and the kunqu opera club, using photos of Beijing opera stars that Bob took for his project, “Unsung Opera,” which she curated. Kunqu is the root of all Chinese opera

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.
