华裔艺术家叶黄嘉雯亮相华埠图书馆 为未来新馆永久公共艺术《明亮视界》征集居民意见

位于加州旧金山市县的旧金山市,旧金山公共图书馆(SFPL)华埠分馆20日下午2时至4时在华埠会议室举行“与艺术家见面”活动,华裔艺术家叶黄嘉雯(Christine WongYap)亲自到场,向居民展示她为未来华埠图书馆创作的永久公共艺术提案《明亮视界》(BrightProspect),并当面听取社区意见。活动采用自由入场形式、无需报名,馆方介绍说,居民可近距离浏览艺术方案、与艺术家交流,并为这件即将进驻新馆的永久作品分享想法。
华埠分馆全称华埠/赖恩慈分馆(Chinatown/Him Mark LaiBranch),位于鲍威尔街1135号,1921年建成、原名北滩分馆,1958年改为华埠分馆,2011年冠以赖恩慈之名,馆藏中文书籍、杂志与影音资料,是华埠居民与亚裔社区重要的公共文化空间,目前正推进翻新与未来新馆计划。叶黄嘉雯的提案能走到居民见面这一步,意味着作品已进入社区征询阶段;对在华埠生活多年的华人居民而言,新馆里将永久陈列什么、如何讲述社区的故事,正是这类见面会希望收集的声音,主办方欢迎居民继续通过图书馆渠道反馈意见。
Chinese American Artist Christine Wong Yap Presents 'Bright Prospect' for Future Chinatown Library
In San Francisco, a city and county in California, San Francisco artist Christine Wong Yap presented her public art proposal "Bright Prospect" for the future Him Mark Lai Branch Library in Chinatown at an October 20 meet-the-artist event hosted by the San Francisco Public Library. The work, selected through the San Francisco Arts Commission, will become permanent public art in the new Chinatown branch.
Wong Yap, a Chinese American artist known for work on belonging and mental health, gathered residents' input on the piece at the session. The new branch, named for historian Him Mark Lai, is a centerpiece project for the Chinatown community.
