howdy!

testing 1, 2, 3, testing. thanks for setting this up, ryan! novel idea. will try not to cramp everyone's steeze with my aimless posts.
here's a picture of one of the few great pieces in the mahjong show at berkeley art museum. the show recently closed and it was disappointing, but i love this thing.

Thanks for posting Jenn - good to see you on here.
I was reading about the group show and seeing mixed reviews. What was the stuff you didn't like about it? Also, why the name Mahjong? Cuz it's chinesey, or is there something else to it?

a lot of folks seemed to like the exhibition, but i guess i was expecting too much. i think it felt too obvious, predictable, and transparent, but i guess it'd make for a good contemp chinese art 101 show, for sure. as for the title, something about how it's a game of strategy and lining up the best combo and how they're doing that with this show. i'm simplifying, of course...
