Making a Statement with Art
A friend of mine, Rich Lo, who grew up in Chicago's Chinatown and went on to become a great artist, is having a gallery show at his studio, "Studio 10twentytwo," in the Fine Arts Building. He has been a frequent contributor to Chicago Chinatown web site with his illustrations. This gallery showing is titled, "Evolution of a Landscape," showing his growth and exploration process in his art, technique, and material, culminating in his recent works from 2004-2007. His current paintings "has a deep thematic ties to the landscape paintings of Ancient China."
The show is Friday, June 8, 2007 and is FREE. The Fine Arts Building is in downtown at 410 South Michigan, Suite 1022, Chicago, IL, from 6:00PM - 9:00PM.
I invited you all out because Rich Lo is a product of Chinatown and about to make bold moves in the world of art. I have witnessed his evolution as an artist. This is a beginning of something great. If you are an art lover or just curious to see some unique works from a local artist, you are all welcome to the showing. More info can be found at thehttp://www.chicagochinatown.com web site.

Cirque Shanghai is BACK
I attended a Press Conference and VIP Luncheon for the upcoming new full-scale theatrical production, Cirque Shanghai: Bai Xi. "Bai Xi," meaning "100 stunning acts." The press conference was held outdoors at the Chinatown Square stage. The troupe performed excerpts from their show, such as "Face Change," "Strong Man," and "Contortion." See the attached photos. It was an awesome display of talent and the short demonstration was enjoyed by all in attendance, especailly the kids.
Chicago is the only city in the United States that Cirque Shanghai: Bai Xi will perform in. The show runs from June 6, 2007 - September 3, 2007 at the Pepsi Skyline Stage® located at Chicago's Navy Pier®. For tickets, call Ticketmaster at 312.902.1500.

The press was treated to a VIP Luncheon after the demonstration at the Phoenix Restaurant across the street. We got to meet the staff and performers.
