Cultural Transcendence
The Wing Luke Asian Museum
Featured artists: Robert Hodgin, Eunsu Kang, Heidi Kumao, Horatio Law, and Brent Watanabe
Seattle, WA

In Cultural Transcendence, five Asian Pacific Islander American artists exhibit works that focus on a step forward from traditional to new media: materials expanding beyond their inherent meanings. Their conceptual themes peer into history but do not dwell on a negative past -- inequality, discrimination, and alienation; instead they search the present and envision a better tomorrow. Cultural Transcendence explores the importance of technology in our modern experience and technology's influence on contemporary installation art.
