Spotlight Artist Chien-An Yuan – Closing Reception Concert & Artist Q&A
@ Chinese American Museum of Chicago
238 W 23rd St, 4th floor, Chicago, IL 60616
Opening Saturday, October 5th, from 2:30PM - 5PM
City of Light, City of Shadow – a photo-series by Chien-An Yuan – is coming to a close. The event will feature a live concert performance and artist talk by Yuan, accompanied by musicians Jeff Chan and Jon Monteverde.
The trio will begin with an immersive, improvised performance against the backdrop of the exhibition on the museum’s fourth floor. They fuse electronic music with traditional instruments—saxophone, bass, and digital soundscapes— to create a rich, atmospheric sound that echoes the emotional depth of Yuan’s featured visual work.
Following the performance, Yuan’s artist talk will explore the inspiration behind his work, which looks to redefine AAPI iconography by challenging stereotypes and offering a multifaceted portrayal of his subjects.
CAMOC’s ongoing Spotlight Series, curated by Larry Lee, exists to showcase the dynamic array of Chinese American artists working in the vibrant world of contemporary fine arts in Chicago and beyond.
