SUMMARY:USC PAM: Pushing the Boundaries of Traditional Art Forms: Young Joon Kwak\, Rafa Esparza\, and Jennifer Ling Datchuk
DESCRIPTION:ADMISSION:\nAdmission is free. Reservations required. \nRSVP \nDESCRIPTION:\nIn a wide-ranging conversation moderated by L.A.–based art historian Danielle Shang\, artists Young Joon Kwak\, Rafa Esparza\, and Jennifer Ling Datchuk will share insights into their creative processes and discuss how they push the boundaries of traditional art forms through the innovative use of unique and unusual materials\, as well as the challenges they face in working with unconventional mediums. \nThis event is inspired by the USC Pacific Asia Museum’s newest exhibition\, Cai Guo-Qiang: A Material Odyssey\, which explores the transformative potential of diverse materials in contemporary art. \nBios: \nRafa Esparza was born and raised in Los Angeles and received a BA from UCLA in 2011. Solo and two-person exhibitions have been held at Commonwealth and Council\, Mexico City (2024); Artists Space\, New York (2023); Commonwealth and Council\, Los Angeles (2021); MASS MoCA\, North Adams (2019); ArtPace\, San Antonio (2018); and Ballroom Marfa (2017). Esparza’s work is in the collections of Aïshti Foundation\, Beirut; Dallas Museum of Art; Kadist Art Foundation; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Minneapolis Institute of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles; Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; San Jose Museum of Art; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York; Vincent Price Art Museum\, Monterey Park; and Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York. \nBorn in Queens\, NY\, and based in Los Angeles\, Young Joon Kwak received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007\, an MA from the University of Chicago in 2010\, and an MFA from USC in 2014. They are the founder of Mutant Salon\, a queer-transfem-BIPOC collective beauty salon and collaborative art and performance platform. They are also the lead performer of the drag-electronic-dance-noise band Xina Xurner. Their work has been widely exhibited at galleries and museums internationally\, including at the Hammer Museum’s biennial exhibition Made in L.A. 2023: Acts of Living. Their next solo exhibition\, Resistance Pleasure\, opens at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive in August 2024\, with another major exhibition following at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in New York in 2025. \nArtist Jennifer Ling Datchuk was born in Warren\, OH\, and raised in Brooklyn\, NY. Her work is an exploration of her layered identity—as a woman\, a Chinese woman\, as an “American\,” as a third culture kid. Trained in ceramics\, Datchuk works with porcelain and other materials often associated with traditional women’s work\, such as textiles and hair\, to discuss fragility\, beauty\, femininity\, intersectionality\, identity\, and personal history. Her work is in the collection at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston\, San Antonio Museum of Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. She is an assistant professor of ceramics at Arizona State University and lives and maintains a studio practice in Phoenix\, AZ. \nDanielle Shang (moderator) is a Los Angeles–based art historian\, exhibition organizer\, and artistic director at Cc Art Foundation\, where she has shaped the collection and programs to focus on the Global South and Asian diasporas. Her research delves into the impact of globalization\, urban renewal\, social change\, and class restructuring on artmaking and the narrative of art history. Shang has been a guest lecturer and speaker at institutions including the Hammer Museum\, USC\, UCLA\, and Sotheby’s Institute of Art\, as well as institutions in Asia. Her upcoming publications include a monograph on Huma Bhabha and a catalog for Minerva Cuevas\, and future exhibitions include solo shows by Mexican artist Minerva Cuevas\, Indonesian artist Julian Abraham Togar\, and Chinese artist Liu Wei. \nPresented by USC Visions and Voices. Organized by the USC Pacific Asia Museum.

SUMMARY:USC PAM: Workshop@PAM: Object Stories: A Writing Workshop with Narrated Objects inspired by Searching for Home: Stories of Displacement and Survival
DESCRIPTION:Explore the power of objects. Objects\, like people\, can tell you where they come from\, can evoke emotion\, and tell stories of love\, loss\, displacement\, struggle\, and so much more. \nJoin Andrea Richards from the creative collective Narrated Objects as she guides participants through writing and meditation exercises aimed at unlocking the storytelling potential within our cherished possessions. Participants are encouraged to bring an object of personal significance\, one that holds a special attachment. \nRefreshments provided. \nRsvp Required \nMore about the exhibition: \nIn Humaira Abid’s exquisitely haunting exhibition Searching for Home\, the artist’s sculpted wooden creations invoke the troubling specter of the global refugee crisis and its trails of ruined lives. Inspired by real accounts of displaced people- all personally researched and documented by Abid- the exhibition hints at untold tragedies surrounding the collateral victims of persecution\, political conflicts\, ethnic cleansing\, and natural disasters\, a disproportionate number of whom are women and girls. Through her chosen medium of wood\, Abid unleashes the innate properties of the material to suggest the ineffable weight and gravity of this continuing humanitarian crisis. \nThis program is free with the cost of admission (Admission to the museum is $15 and can be paid upon arrival at our Visitor Services Desk. More information about our admission rates can be found here)

SUMMARY:USC PAM:  Workshop@PAM: The Joy Luck Mom Club – Participatory Video
DESCRIPTION:There is always something about your immigrant mother that you never understood while growing up. It is through having a “Joy Luck Mom Club moment” – an epiphanous moment when you realize something about yourself because of something you learned about your mother that was previously kept secret. Inspired by the film The Joy Luck Club (1993)\, directed by Wayne Wang and adapted from Amy Tan’s novel\, this participatory video workshop attempts to contribute to the untold/unheard/silenced and forgotten narratives of women’s migration. Participants are invited to bring an object\, photo\, or memory to create a one-minute video letter or dedication to their mother (or to another relative of importance). \n  \nParticipants will learn how to apply basic video production techniques from storyboarding\, shooting\, and sound to editing. Completed videos will be screened at the end of the workshop. Participants are not expected to have any formal media production experience and all levels are encouraged and welcome. \n  \nMobile phones or other cameras are welcome.

SUMMARY:USC PAM: Sacred Sand Mandala
DESCRIPTION:USC Pacific Asia Museum is proud to host Tibetan monks from the Drepung Loseling Monastery in South India. They will spend four days creating a Sand Mandala\, a Tibetan Buddhist tradition that involves the creation and destruction of paintings made using colored sand.

Museum visitors will be able to observe the creation of the mandala during regular public open hours. \nSchedule of events:\nOpening blessing ceremony:\nWednesday\, January 24th: 2:00 PM \nView the monks as they work to create the mandala \nWednesday\, January 24th\, 2:00-5:00 \nThursday\, January 25th\, 2:00-5:00 \nFriday\, January 26th\, 2:00-5:00 \nSaturday\, January 27th\, 2:00-5:00 \nClosing ceremony: \nSaturday\, January 27th\, 3:00 pm

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Artists Talks@PAM: Ken Lum and Jennifer Ling-Datchuk
DESCRIPTION:USC PAM presents exhibited artists Ken Lum and Jennifer Ling Datchuk from Another Beautiful Country as they discuss their work in an intimate gallery conversation. Drawing from the Chinese translation of America\, (美國/měiguó) and the American-born Chinese abbreviation\, ABC\, Another Beautiful Country\, features artworks that portray nuanced interplays between Chinese American identities and representations\, challenging conventional notions of nationhood. Resisting stereotypes and globalization’s dehumanizing aspects\, Another Beautiful Country brings together artworks as scenes of cross-cultural sharing. \nFree with cost of admission \nRSVP recommended \nMore about the Artists: \nJennifer Ling Datchuk /玲 \nJennifer Ling Datchuk was born in Warren\, Ohio and raised in Brooklyn\, New York. Her work is an exploration of her layered identity – as a woman\, a Chinese woman\, as an “American\,”and as a third culture kid. Trained in ceramics\, Datchuk works with porcelain and other materials often associated with traditional women’s work\, such as textiles and hair\, to discuss fragility\, beauty\, femininity\, intersectionality\, identity\, and personal history. Through these materials\, she explores how Western beauty standards influenced the East\, how the non-white body is commodified and sold\, and how women’s – globally\, girls’ – work is still a major economic driver whose workers still struggle for equality. Datchuk holds an MFA in Artisanry from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and a BFA in Crafts from Kent State University. In 2017\, she received the Emerging Voices award from the American Craft Council\, and in 2020 was named a United States Artist Fellow in Craft. Her work is in the collections at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston\, San Antonio Museum of Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. She is an Assistant Professor of Ceramics at Arizona State University and lives and maintains a studio practice in Phoenix\, Arizona. \nKen Lum / 林蔭庭 \nKen Lum is an artist with an international exhibition record that includes Documenta\, the Venice Biennale\, Sao Paolo Bienal\, Shanghai Biennale\, Gwangju Biennale\, Carnegie Triennial and the Whitney Biennial. He is co-founder and founding editor of the Yishu Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art. He is a prolific writer and has given 6 keynote addresses including the 2022 congress of the International Association of Empirical Aesthetics in Philadelphia. A book of his writings titled Everything is Relevant: Writings on Art and Life 1991 – 2018 was published in 2020 by Concordia University Press. In 2020\, he wrote a screenplay titled The Cook about Chinese contract laborers in the 19th century. In 2021\, he penned a second screenplay about the forced expulsion of Chinese from Tacoma\, Washington Territory in 1885. Lum has realized numerous permanent public art commissions\, including co-curating Shanghai Modern: 1919 – 1945. A long-time professor\, Lum is currently the Marilyn Jordan Taylor Presidential Professor and Chair of the Department of Fine Arts\, Stuart Weitzman School of Design\, University of Pennsylvania.
