Asian American Night: Celebrating U+ME, Milton Resnick & Matthew Wong Painting, Poetry and Artistic Dialog in Chinatown
6:30 – 8PM
Asian American artists reflect on U+ME––a singular, illuminating exhibition of painting and poetry by Milton Resnick and Matthew Wong, two late renowned artists of different generations and backgrounds. To celebrate and deepen this interdisciplinary dialogue, event curator and host Alvin Eng will be joined in discussion by an accomplished, intergenerational group of Asian American artists comprised of Yuchen Chang, Bing Lee, Lanie Lee, Stefani Mar, Helen Oji and Siyan Wong.
In the spirit of the exhibition, curated by Alex Paul Chapin, some of the artists will reflect on the show with poetry of their own before a group discussion. In addition to celebrating U+ME, we will also be celebrating Milton Resnick’s thirty-plus years of creating art in the former synagogue at 87 Eldridge Street.
This pre-Lunar New Year event is free, but Eventbrite RSVPs are required.
The U+ME exhibition is on view Thursday thru Saturday from 11am-6pm and runs thru Feb. 10.
