‘Chinese Take Out’ exhibition at Art in General – – All photos by Art Observed
Chinese Take Out is non-profit Art in General‘s latest new commission, presented by artist Jason Bailer Losh. Seven restaurants in New York City’s Chinatown were asked to loan an object or image that pays homage to mainland China as well as reflecting the immigrant experience of attempting to create a ‘home away from home’. The collection of displaced artifacts are on display at Art in General’s gallery on Walker Street, while ten artist-produced site-specific installations are being displayed in the restaurants original objects were removed from.
