Horatio Hung-Yan Law, "T'ai Chi for 1,000"

As part of the South Waterfront's Artist in Residence program, Horatio Hung-Yan Law presents China-on-Willamette. The project, which was exhibited for the month of May, consists of two installations, Chopsticks Terrace Rice Field and Bamboo Great Wall. With these installations, Law has sought to explore how Portland might have developed if the Chinese population hadn't been driven out by the anti-immigrations laws passed by Congress in 1882. The project culminates this weekend with a final installation, T'ai Chi for 1,000. This is a rain or shine participation event for people of all ages and levels of T'ai Chi experience - wear comfortable clothing and shoes!

Closing event • 10-11:30am • May 31
South Waterfront Park • SW Moody & Curry

Law is one hell of an artist and the SoWa does feel a lil like China with the tram and glass tower condos... last weekend I went down there and tried to be a touist in my own city... it definitely felt like a different place.

Still, if this were China 1000 people wouldn't raise any eyebrows. It's a question of scale.
