Hong Kong Art Professor Phoebe Ching Ying Man returns to Seattle’s CoCA to discuss her artwork, "Free Coloring: If I Were", created in response to the #MeToo movement protesting the prevalence of sexual abuse and harassment. Dr. Man’s installation asks visitors to select one of three difficult roles: bystander, perpetrator, or victim. Postcards documenting visitor’s reactions and feelings are displayed on the wall, including from the artwork’s previous incarnations in Hong Kong and Taiwan. https://freecoloringifiwere.wordpress.com/
The event also includes a performance by Jim “Jimmy” Quatier, whose work is also included in the exhibition. Quatier explores his experience as a Field Representative in the American Housing Survey while working for the Census Bureau in 2021.
A new installation of his ongoing series on the loss of public space, sous chef (Antoine Martel) will be presented as well.
The event is part of a Saturday Art Stroll organized by Kucera Gallery, with tulip flowers distributed by participating galleries along Third Avenue.
