Chau Huynh, the artist whose work honoring Vietnamese pedicure workers (this one) launched a thousand protests, is having her boat-people-themed artwork exhibited in Oakland’s Compound Gallery.
Entitled “Yelling Clinic” (web site here), the exhibit curated by Katherine Sherwood features three artists Chau Huynh, Sunaura Taylor and Ehren Tool.
It’s running from yesterday September 13 through October 3.
Chau Huynh seems to be the star attraction though. She’s featured at the center of an educational tea by the gallery on September 21, 3-5pm, together with Nam Tran Nguyen and Kieu Linh Caroline Valverde – a UC Davis professor.
In her bio, Chau Huynh calls her training in Vietnam at the University of Fine Arts that of a “Communist propaganda artist” and states that her artistic restrictions were only removed when she came to the U.S. at the age of 27.
For this show, she is exhibiting the drawing Soul Catcher from her series An Nguyen’s Story, inspired from interviews with a boat-people refugee.
The Compound Gallery (web site here), is located at:
The Compound Gallery & Studios
6602/6604 San Pablo Ave
Oakland, CA 94608
By the way, if you’re wondering — Chau Huynh has graduated from the MFA program at UC Davis and is now, among other things, teaching at Sierra Community College, at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, just a half-hour from the State Capitol.
Maybe someone should go protest her Art 4A class.
I feel sorry for you bolsavik, unemployed, clueless, powerless and still stubborn. You dare to anger us by daring us to protest that bitch, whose art is tasteless. Look at your postings recently, low in quantity and quality. I wonder if you know your blog is dying due to inactivity. And I know why. Bac Cong Tam once predicted that. It happened now. Let’s concentrate and find a good and decent job. Be a real person, unlike the cluessless young folks at vietweekly. That’s my 2 cents for you.
Congratulations!
Can’t wait to see the exhibit. Thanks for posting this.
Ohso64 and NL,

Let me understanding this comment. Because I want to see an art exhibit, I’m not spending my time wisely? And somehow this is related to my not having a decent job?
This is from someone who appears to have no understanding of democracy or pluralism, but probably claims to champion anti-communist sentiments? Because you’ve never taken Civics in the 6th grade, I’ll cliff-notes it for you, and the rest of the intolerant idiots trolling on this board. The lynch-pin of living in a plural society is the willingness to tolerate and accept opinions you do not agree with. It’s the right to disagree that differs democracies from say, Iran, North Korea, and yes, our dear Vietnam.
I do agree with the decent job comment though and my headhunter is working on it. Litigation isn’t as glamorous or as exciting as it seems. But I don’t expect you to understand that.

Hey Thuan Do,

chau’s story is amazing and it’s a true american dream. it’s too bad some people feel the need to degrade her family’s accomplishments. i hope she has an exibit here i’d like to see that and to meet her.
The Bay Area is another extension of the Communist Vietnam. At UC Berkeley, where they wave the VC flag and proclaimed Ho Chi Minh Central Park in the 1960s has served as an incubator for commies. Artist Chau Huynh is a commie agent sent to UC Berkeley to promulgate the commies ideology. Now that she has graduated from the number one university in the world that train commies, we Vietnamese-Americans must be very wary.
ricky, i hope one day you realize that you are the kind of people we should be wary about. the so called “vietnamese-american” who is so afraid of his own shadow. i wonder why you are so afraid but more importantly i wonder why you hate america.
Why can’t people get it?
Communism = happy manual work at labor camp ………..7 days a week!
