Paul Wong: OCCUPYING CHINATOWN

Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden 578 Carrall Street, British Columbia V6B 5K2

OCCUPYING CHINATOWN is Paul Wong’s year-long artist residency at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden that launched in Spring 2018. Wong will be creating a series of multidisciplinary artworks based on 700 letters in Chinese sent by 90 writers to his mother Suk-Fong Wong.

The first new site-specific work to be created as part of this residency is 鹹水埠溫哥華/Haam Sui Fow Wun Goh Wah (Saltwater City-Vancouver). These two text pieces acknowledge Chinatown’s Toisanese settlers, and are presented at the Garden: one “wooden” and the other neon.
