Colette Fu: We are Tiger Dragon People
On view through Saturday, March 16
Center for the Arts Asian Arts Gallery
Dynamic and dangerous, Colette Fu’s action books combine photography and pop-up paper engineering. In 2008, Fu received a Fulbright Fellowship to photograph the 25 ethnic minorities of her mother’s hometown of Yunnan Province, China. She has turned many of these photographs into a series of collapsible art books that eliminate the boundaries between book, installation, photography, craft and sculpture. Guest Curator: Prof. Susan Isaacs.

“This was an amazing talent–unlike anything I have ever seen.” – D.N. Mann
“I really like the emphasis of culture & dynamics of color into pop-art. It’s unique. It also makes me realize how similar other countries influence each other. I enjoyed it because it helped connect to my background of Laos.” – April Keomorokot
“We brought kids (4th graders) into the gallery to teach them about her art. They loved it and got a lot out of it.” – Emily Pfeifer
“Arrangements were beautiful. Pictures stunning and captured essence.” – Vicki Vesecky
