explorTAIWANESE

Monday, May 15th, 2006

Did you know that May is not only “eat local” month, but it’s also “Asian Heritage Month” in Canada? [explorASIAN 2006](http://www.explorasian.org/) is a month-long celebration of Asian Canadian arts and culture in the Lower Mainland. Chisako’s “Kasuri” weaving show that I mentioned a few days ago is part of the [explorASIAN event schedule](http://www.explorasian.org/explorasian2006_schedule.html). My father, [Shyh-Charng Lo](http://www.shyhcharnglo.com), is participating in a joint exhibition called ["explorTAIWANESE"](http://www.explorasian.org/eventdocs/explorTAIWANESE_Roundhouse.html), opening at the Roundhouse Community Centre in Yaletown next Tuesday, May 23.

Explore the work of Fu-chin Hu, a Taiwanese traveler, and Shyh-Charng Lo, a Taiwanese Vancouverite shown together in this exquisite joint art exhibition.

Come and see their beautiful interpretations of Vancouver scenery expressed through oil paintings. Get insight into the artists’ inspirations at the dialogue between two artists.

The show is being run in conjunction with the explorINDONESIAN exhibition. The Indonesian exhibit will also have a special display of Kain Nusantara (Indonesian Traditional Textiles) which should be interesting too.

If you are interested, come on down next Tuesday and say hello!
