Info:
Red Beans and Rice brings together an under-recognized group of artists profoundly influenced by their experiences in the Southern states. The exhibition dissects themes including cultural engagement, dual citizenship, Christian, American, and Asian ideals and stereotypes. Some of these artists were born in the South and have deep roots in the region. For others it has become their home through adoption and absorption, but their sentiments about the South are often in conflict with the traditions and cultures they grew up with. As the process of Americanization begins, these artists reexamine, redefine, and integrate a new vision of home. For many, the longing for distant homelands might never pass, with fantasies of home distorted through the processes of memory and myth making.
Exhibitng artists are: Yun Bai Yin Kit Chan Arthur Liou Kazuko Matsumoto Osamu James Nakagawa Lordy Rodriguez Prince Varaghese Thomas Edie Tsong Jan-Ru Wan Bo Zhang
