Stella Zhang is the featured artist of the 2010 Xian Rui (”Fresh & Sharp”) Artist Excellence Exhibition Series. The Exhibition Series is an annual solo exhibition curated by the Chinese Culture Center to showcase the work of an exceptional but under-represented Chinese artist in America. In previous years the Series has featured artists such as installation Beili Liu from Austin, and fiber artist Dora Hsiung from Boston.

Join us on August 14th for a dialogue with the artist, moderated by SFAC’s Lucy Lin, as she introduces not only the inspirations and creative process behind her 0-Viewpoint exhibit but hosts the premiere of a documentary on the artistic process behind 0-Viewpoint’s creation. While you’re here, take a tour of the gallery and help yourself to light refreshments.

The Xian Rui Artist Excellence Exhibition Series 2008-2010 was made possible by the generous support of the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation. 2008-2010.

Preview a short clip behind the making of “0-Viewpoint” and join us on August 14th for the premiere of the documentary!

The Chinese Culture Center is proud to present Harrison Lim’s new book, “A Thousand Years of Women’s Tears.” This book examines the heartbreak that Chinese women throughout history experience in relationships. It also looks beyond women in Asia to examine women in other countries. Men and women relationships are analyzed through the lens of a 3rd person perspective, who is better able to see the relationship than the ones in it as the saying goes: “love is blind.” This book will give insight into men and women relationships and show that the ups and downs of relationships are universal, going beyond cultural barriers. This book is written in Chinese. RSVP here.

中華文化中心12月19日推出林炳昌的新書 《千年紅淚》。 作者林炳昌會在當場介紹他的新書和簽售。書內曾提及文士譽美慧女人是”歷史的風韻”；學者則嘆她們為封建王朝的祭品。是風韻抑是祭品？或是兩相交映的互染？讀者可在《千年紅淚》中尋到消息。

《千年紅淚》是以美慧名女人的淚水為經，以負心漢的薄倖為緯，深情地慮譜歷代美慧名女人那種哀傷染著酸淚，凄楚揉著血絲的心曲，繪畫幕幕”才如江海命如絲”的名女人的生命困境，讓伊等的風韻與淚痕，重現君前，伴君笑，隨君哭。

《千年紅淚》里的名女人有古有今，有中有西。數十位孤魂瘦影在《千年紅淚》裡閃閃搖搖，位位動人，篇篇魂移。作者希望歷代美慧名女人的笑聲淚影，長留讀者心間。

Chinese Culture Center is proud to sponsor “Uncle Toisan.”

“Uncle Toisan” features the unique experience of a Chinese American immigrant to the United States. His eyewitness account bridges the historical relevance of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the modern post-civil rights movement, and the emergence of present-day Asian American consciousness.

Uncle Toisan enters the country as a 17 year old “paper son” (immigrants who purchased legal immigration status as a “paper son” of an American citizen), then perseveres through a two-month detention at Angel Island Immigration Station on the eve of its closing in 1939. Read More »
