We begin this midsummer evening with a lively discussion of early (pre-1970s) Asian American artists living and working in the Seattle area, featuring a noted historian, artists, and critics. Stanford University professor Gordon H. Chang, with Mark Johnson and Paul Karlstrom, has edited and contributed to Asian American Art: A History (1850 - 1970) (Stanford University Press). This is the first comprehensive study of the lives and artistic production of artists of Asian ancestry active in the United States before 1970, and it features original essays by ten leading scholars, biographies of more than 150 artists, and over 400 reproductions of artwork. Here with Dr. Chang are Seattle writer Kazuko Nakane, author of a chapter on Seattle's Asian American artists (and, most recently, Nothing Left on My Hands) and a special appearance by renowned Seattle-born artist Roger Shimomura. Seattle writer/artist Alan Chong Lau will provide introductory remarks and moderate the discussion.
