exhibitionism

labor day is over. get out of the house. lots to see and hear this week in san francisco:

my story about Chinese American retirees going back to China was aired on KQED's Pacific Time program last week. the show is archived at the above links.

Wang Wei is part of a show at the Luggage Store Gallery called The Amber Room. There are four artists in the show, two from beijing, two from L.A. Wang Wei is building a scaffolding structure that takes over a large portion the gallery. The show opens this friday, sept 8 from 7-9, so please stop by if you're in the area.

also, good friend, radio personality, and multi-talented nguyen qui duc has an opening at the togonon gallery of his polaroid transfer prints and mixed media artwork. Exposure & Memory opens on thursday, sept 7, 6-8pm. The pieces are beautiful and as an added bonus, he's got some little robots that are funny and wacky.
