Tokyo ADC Exhibition
A blend of pop,
tradition and innovation, this exhibition provides a glimpse into the world of
Tokyo Advertising Director's Club. Tokyo ADC promises to showcase some of the
most trend-setting minds in commercial visual arts in the world today through
examples of logos, print and television advertising, and book and product
design.
Simple avant garde,
comedic and crisp; the competition to stay ahead of the game is so intense,
that these commercial artists explore and discover new ways, and new twists on
a few old ways of delivering their products to the consumer market.

2007 Whose Utopia
An exhibition by Guangzhou
artist, Cao Fei at The Orange County Museum of Art
The Orange County Museum
of Art launches the Pacific Initiative, an ongoing series of exhibitions,
artist residencies, and international collaborations to build relationships
with artists and institutions in Asia and Latin America. Cao Fei: Whose Utopia,
the first of these projects, presents the work of Cao, an artist born in
Guangzhou, Guangdong, who addresses the complexities of the rapidly shifting
contemporary moment. The artist spent six months at the OSRAM China Lighting
Ltd., a factory in the Pearl River Delta in China, a major manufacturing base
for everyday products for Chinese and foreign markets that has drawn workers
from throughout China in search of economic opportunities and a better life.
The installation is anchored by a video, Whose Utopia, and includes the
everyday personal mementos and metal bunk beds present in the workers
dormitories. The video is an eerily beautiful portrait of the factory and of
the workers daily lives, fantasies, and aspirations. Scenes from the flow of
the regular workday are interspersed with performances by a peacock dancer, a
ballerina dressed as an angel, an electric guitar player, and a break dancer.
Whose Utopia is presented
in collaboration with the Walter & McBean Galleries at the San Francisco
Art Institute. Cao Fei: Whose Utopia was organized by Aimee Chang, OCMA curator
of contemporary art.

An Urban Oasis: The Orange
County Agricultural and Nikkei Heritage Museum at the Fullerton Arboretum
Spotlighting the rich
agricultural legacy of Orange County and the Japanese American communitys
contributions to that chronicle.
Sowing Dreams, Cultivating
Lives: Nikkei Farmers in Pre-World War II Orange County.
Opens February 10, 2007.
The Orange County
Agricultural and Nikkei Heritage Museum has been built on the grounds of the
Fullerton Arboretum and has been designed along the lines of a packing house.
California State University, Fullerton, and the Fullerton Arboretum are working
together to open the museum to the public. The inside of the building is
divided into four sections: Nikkei, Pioneer, Educational, and Transportation
and Geography. There is a small bookstore and the Potting Shed will move its
plant sales adjacent to the bookstore alcove.
The museum will highlight
the history, development, and impact of agriculture, as well as the
contributions of the Japanese American community and the local pioneer
families, to the growth of Orange County. This introductory exhibit will be a
peek into upcoming planned exhibitions and will be open throughout the summer.
The first major exhibit
will focus on the Nikkei. Sowing Dreams, Cultivating Lives: Nikkei Farmers in
Pre-World War II Orange County will journey with the early Japanese immigrants
to California, and follow their stories as they establish permanent communities
in Orange County by marrying, raising families, founding schools and social
groups, and above all, cultivating the land.

Persian Visions:
Contemporary Photography from Iran
June 22, 2007 - September
9, 2007
Mohammad Farnood,
Norooz, 2002
On Friday, June 22, 2007,
Pacific Asia Museum will open Persian Visions: Contemporary Photography from
Iran, an exhibition that provides a
rare, revealing view of Iranian life with more than 60 photographs by renowned
Iranian photographers. Subjects include public life as well as the intimate
such as family life and celebrations. This will be the only West Coast venue
for this exhibition.
The twenty artists in the
exhibition are among Irans most celebrated photographers, all of whom use the
medium for cultural expression and self-exploration. Many of the artists are
well known throughout Europe where they have extensively exhibited their works.
Several of these artists have lived abroad and experienced western culture
before returning to Iran to document their own culture. This perspective of
life in Iran contradicts the way many foreign photographers use the medium: to
represent Iran and its people as purely exotic.
Sadegh Tirafkan, Persepolis
Iran has distinguished
itself with the quality and international presence of its film and visual art.
Now we can extend our appreciation of Iranian artists with the photographic
work of Shokoufeh Alidousti, whose self-portraits and family photographs
explore both cultural and female identity. Esmail Abbasi draws on Persian
literature for his subject matter and adds contemporary side notes on present
circumstances in Iran. And Shahriar Tavakoli focuses on his family history
through a series of portraits capturing the mood of an Iranian family with all
its subtleties.
Persian Visions will travel to the University of Michigan Museum,
the Southeast Museum of Photography in Daytona Beach, the Mulvane Art Museum in
Topeka, and the Missoula Museum of Art. Recently it was on view at the Honolulu
Academy of Art, the Herbert F. Johnson Museum at Cornell University, and the
Art Gallery of the University of Maryland.
Persian Visions was developed by Hamid Severi for the Tehran Museum
of Contemporary Art, Iran, and Gary Hallman of the Regis Center for Art,
University of Minnesota, and toured by International Arts & Artists,
Washington, D.C. This exhibition was made possible in part by the ILEX
Foundation, University of Minnesota McKnight Arts and Humanities Endowment, and
the Department of Art, Regis Center for Art, University of Minnesota.

June 17 Opening of the
exhibition ''Landscaping America: Beyond the Japanese Garden''
Gardens were among the
first forms of Japanese culture to gain popularity in the United States. Since
their introduction to the American public at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in
Philadelphia, Japanese-style gardens have proliferated across the country.
Landscaping America
reveals the personal stories, historical journeys, communities, and creativity
that underlie the surface of the "Japanese garden." This multimedia
exhibition highlights how West Coast Japanese Americans drew upon their
agricultural and ethnic backgrounds to carve out a viable vocational niche in
gardening while reinterpreting Japanese garden traditions, offering alternative
approaches to working with nature, and contributing to the diversity of the
American landscape.
Landscaping America:
Beyond the Japanese Garden is made possible, in part, by major support from the
Aratani Foundation and the Annenberg Foundation. Generous support was also
provided by The James Irvine Foundation, the National Endowment of the
Humanities, and The Boeing Company.
Media Sponsors: Los
Angeles Downtown News, LA18 KSCI-TV and The Rafu Shimpo.

By Julia Cho
Directed by Chay Yew
When Boo-Seng Lee is laid
off from the job to which he has devoted the last 25 years of his life, he
decides to take his two sons Jimmy and Isaac on a road trip to Durango,
Colorado. As they make their way across the Arizona desert, they confront
family secrets, peeling back the layers of identity, alienation and duty that
define being Asian in America. DURANGO promises to be a thought-provoking
examination of the fears, fantasies, and failures of a family standing in the
shadow of the American Dream.
