2019.10.15	Artist Talk ｜ In Conversation: Eleen Lin and Janusz Jaworski ....more Tuesday, October 15, 6-8pm Conversation begins at 6:30pm 456 Broadway, 3rd floor (elevator available) Please join us for a conversation between artist Eleen Lin and curator Janusz Jaworski about Lin's current exhibition Found in Translation. The conversation takes place within Found in Translation, a solo exhibition of Lin's paintings and drawings inspired by Herman Melville's "Moby-Dick", and mistranslations in the Mandarin version. With stunning and often playful imagery, Lin's works allow viewers to discover many narratives within them - even if the viewers are not familiar with//the novel. Lin's current body of work explores themes of cultural hybrids and diasporas, memory, sexuality, and the inadequacies of translations between cultures and eras. Part of Chinatown Arts Week, this event is sponsored by Gallery 456 and Think!Chinatown.

2019.9.1	2019-2020 CAAC Workshops at Symphony Space ....more Chinese American Arts Council (CAAC) signed another year of agreement with Symphony Space's Global Arts Program, in conducting series of Workshop, Cultural Field Trip and After School Program on Chinese Opera and Martial Arts. In this agreement, during 2019-2020, CAAC will conduct periodic workshops and demonstrations on Chinese Opera and Martial Arts at Symphony Space. Artists from CAAC were trained in China and who were stars of the Beijing and Shaoxing Opera Troupes. Recipients of numerous awards for their work in China, these artists specialize in warrior roles and are skilled in many styles of theatrical martial arts. Their performances and workshops introduce students and teachers to works from the Beijing, Shaoxing, Kun and Cantonese Opera repertories. Teaching artists perform and discuss the five elements of traditional Chinese opera—singing, talking, acting, fighting, and tumbling--with students, providing a deeper understanding of the discipline. An exploration of these elements elicits interactive discussion, learning the five elements in the Mandarin language, and practice with stage fighting skills, movement, and mime. The workshops and demonstrations will be held throughout the contracted period.
