Press release by SD Holman and SUM Gallery<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

SUM presents its first solo exhibition by Karin Lee<\/a>, curated by Paul Wong and SD Holman:<\/p>\n

QUEER-SUM<\/h2>\n

SUM [Gallery] is in the [Vancouver] Downtown Eastside, a neighborhood which has been the locus for many racialized communities, Coast Salish, Chinese, Black, Japanese. Paul Wong and I are the co-curators of the inaugural exhibition queer-sum queer \u5fc3, We wanted the first solo exhibition be Chinese female identified. We wanted an artist with deep links to Vancouver’s Chinese and queer communities both, we wanted a woman whose work was challenging and transgressive and very queer – in other words, we wanted Karin Lee, a local artist who is 4th generation Chinese Canadian<\/p>\n

Queer-sum a \u201cChinglish\u201d translation and play on the words Queer Love, alludes to queer attraction that people experience, even though they believe themselves to be straight identified \u2013 or queer-sum (sum=love).<\/p>\n

Filmmaker Karin Lee<\/h2>\n

presents three of her film\/media works: a 2-channel remix of her classic 16mm film My Sweet Peony, a fantastical drama shot in the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Classical Chinese Gardens; Portrait of a Girl, a documentary shot in Beijing, and Small Pleasures, a period drama set in Barkerville BC. <\/p>\n

The three works not only investigate sentiments of being \u201cQueer-sum\u201d, but pays tribute to Chinatown, where Lee spent her childhood \u2013 and the underlying racism which contributed to the very creation of \u201cChinatowns\u201d amidst the colonization of First Nations people.<\/p>\n
