Expanding on Hou Hanru’s Everyday Miracles project for the Chinese Pavilion at the 2007 Venice Biennale, this exhibition is organized in three parts, divided between two West Coast American cities. Using the miraculous powers of the everyday to negotiate political and historical reality, Everyday Miracles (Extended) brings together the work of seven Asian women artists – Hamra Abbas, Ringo Bunoan, Chen Hui-chiao, Shilpa Gupta, Kan Xuan, Minouk Lim, and Jewyo Rhii – and creates a dialogue about the cultural diversity and historical difference effected by colonialism and modernization in China, India, Korea, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Taiwan.
