Closing Reception 7:00pm – 10:00pm August 28th
Curated by Constance Castillo
Sometimes in silence there is a humming noise. A feeling that something might not be right. Through varied mediums, five artists under the age of 21 and raised in the Bay Area will engage in a disturbance of beauty. Focused around a short story written by Penelope Lin, the multimedia show will include installation, film, photography, and mixed media. Existing in the distance between lingering memories and emerging presence these artistic distortions will act as an elegy for the material life.
An excerpt from “HOME” by Penelope Yow-Shiuan Lin:
Speak up, she says. And the aunts drag me from her musty room that hangs with blanched calendars of supple apples and framed pictures of blue-eyed children clipped from magazines. One turns on the dubbed cartoons and the other pushes me down on the black leather couch in the living room. I know better than to touch the remote.
Granny’s missed you, they say.
