Colette Fu: We Are Tiger People

Artist talk and opening reception for new exhibit of Colette Fu's series of pop-up books, drawing on her tribal Chinese heritage and chronicling the 25 ethnic minorities of Yunnan Province, China

When:
February 7, 2013 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Print

Dynamic and dangerous, Colette Fu’s pop-up books are anything but child-like. These shifting, stretching collages mark her professional maturation from an amateur photographer to a skilled artist. Through the combination of photography and pop-up paper engineering, Fu creates one-of-a-kind collapsible artist books that reflect ideas on how our selves relate to society today. Fu’s series of pop-up books, drawing on her tribal Chinese heritage and chronicling the 25 ethnic minorities of Yunnan Province, China, eliminate the boundaries between book, installation, photography, craft and sculpture.

Guest Curator: Prof Susan Isaacs.

Admission is Free.

Gallery exhibit runs February 7 through March 16
