SUMMARY:Exhibition - LEGENDS: Athleticism in Asian/American Art
DESCRIPTION:LEGENDS: Athleticism in Asian/American Art explores the intersection of art and sports through the work of contemporary Asian and Asian American artists. While often considered distinct fields\, this exhibition highlights how sport and artistic expression serve as interconnected arenas. Featuring artists and collectives across a wide range of artistic media\, LEGENDS examines how artists of Asian descent engage with the shared language of art and sport to reflect identity\, nationalism\, the body\, and performance.  \nThe first exhibition to specifically focus on the relationship between art and sports within contemporary Asian and Asian American art\, LEGENDS will debut works by The Chinatown Basketball Club\, Kaarina Chu Mackenzie\, and Astria Suparak.

SUMMARY:Chinese Experimental Architecture Or French Poststructuralist Theory
DESCRIPTION:In her new book\, Chinese Experimental Architecture Or French Poststructuralist Theory\, Ruo Jia begins with a paradox: how the Chinese Cultural Revolution influenced French poststructuralist thought—and how that theory later returned to China and ultimately shaped experimental architectural practices. Focusing on the late 1990s and early 2000s\, Jia traces how these theoretical approaches reshaped one another across political and cultural divides.
