San Francisco -This summer the Chinese Culture Foundation is proud to present Hong Kong artist and 2013 Asian Cultural Council Fellow, Lam Tung-pang who will debut his Curiosity Box in the U.S.
The Curiosity Box is an experiment originated in Lam Tung-pang's apartment during his recent artist residency in the US. The project reflects the artist's attempt to turn his living space into a creative lab for documenting and sharing his internal psyche with the public.
As one of the most important rising stars from the Pacific region, Lam's work demonstrates how an individual navigates and negotiates in a constantly changing environment.
The captivating illustrations veil the critical distance the artist creates between realities. Chinese Culture Foundation's Curator and Artistic Director, Abby Chen says the following about the program;
"Without compromising sensitivity and imagination, Lam injects a fresh energy to ignite the cultural conversation for our city and Hong Kong. His unique perspective of surroundings is what we look forward the most this summer."
Lam will donate a new piece to the Chinese Culture Foundation inspired by his trip to San Francisco.
A special preview and reception was held on June 12 with Mr. Gregory So, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government as the Guest of Honor.
The Curiosity Box opens on June 22, 2013 10 - 4 pm, with an opportunity to Meet the Artist at 3pm. The exhibition is on view Tuesdays-Saturdays 10am-4pm at the Chinese Culture Center 750 Kearny St., 3rd Floor (inside the Hilton Hotel). Admission to the gallery is free.
