BroLab Reveals New Project
Unveiling
this Thursday - Humps and Bumps, a new project by BroLab!
BroLab,
which consists of five metropolitan area artists, says the project encourages
people to "slow down and take in the significance of their urban
surroundings." So it's fitting that
the piece resembles a giant speed bump. And
it's no coincidence that it was commissioned by the Department of
Transportation’s Urban Art Program, along with the Jamaica Center for Arts
& Learning (JCAL).
You
can join the unveiling ceremony this Thursday from 4-6 pm in Jamaica,
Queens. The ceremony takes place on
Archer Avenue at Union Hall Street. A
reception will also be held at the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning after
the ceremony.
Humps
and Bumps was recently featured in The Daily News: http://tinyurl.com/cxpjm2a
Congratulations to BroLab for their recognition!

 |
| Daeng'gi Kimchi Factory - Dec. 22 |
"Daeng'gi Kimchi Factory is a performance--installation piece where I will be taking chopped off daeng'gi braids ( a traditional Korean hairstyle that was once worn by adolescent girls) for cabbage, and make my own special version of kimchi. This piece confronts the male-dominated traditions of the past and investigates the state of women in Korea today. This piece will be accompanied by several live performances"
Performance Dates are as follows:
Dec 22- 5-7pm,
Dec. 30 3-4pm,
Jan 6, 3-4pm, and
