Images from The Table, which premiered last month at Judson Memorial Church, NYC Presented by @pinkfangnyc, a company rooted in the artistic legacy of Ping Chong. The following is adapted from my program note: Creating this piece in collaboration with Mei Ann Teo and this creative team has been a genuine liberation - - the chance to step into a lineage that holds community, history, the urgency of the unheard, and something harder to name: a commitment to image that precedes argument, to sensation that arrives before meaning, to mystery held open rather than resolved. To work in the legacy of Ping Chong is to remember that maybe the artist’s role is broader and stranger than the moment often asks for. Do we live in a time that wants art to justify itself through legibility? To carry a message, to resolve. Ping’s legacy insists otherwise: that an image can do what an argument cannot, that work can be porous and willing to carry what it cannot explain. The Table is made in that spirit. It doesn’t ask you to arrive at a conclusion. It asks you to let your body know something before your mind does. In a world desperate to make sense of itself, we believe there is profound value in work that doesn’t. Not because we are indifferent to the world, but because we trust that what is felt before it is understood reaches somewhere deeper, and stays longer. The Table By Mei Ann Teo and Erika Chong Shuch, created in collaboration with the cast and creative team. Cast: Ching Valdes-Aran, maura nguyễn donohue, Julia Gu, Rami Margron, Shannon Yu Creative Team: Tomi Tsunoda (dramaturg), Peiyi Wong (set/costume), Tuce Yasak (lighting), Justin Hicks (sound), Hao Bai (projection) Daniel Allen Nelson (PSM), Adrienne Swan (PM), Vivian Yining Cao (line producer) Photos: @perryyungofficial and @rk_co_image by @erkachong

Behind the hundreds of bowls in "1,000 Ways to Hold: A new work by Erika Chong Shuch" (@erkachong) is a remarkable process of making. Throughout the year, students, faculty, staff, and community members gathered across Stanford to create bowls while reflecting on the question: What have you held, and what has held you? The project extended beyond the workshops through ARTSINST 310: Interdisciplinary Arts Practicum: 1000 Ways to Hold, in which Stanford students helped steward the bowls from clay to finished vessels. Under the guidance of physicist, Stanford Arts Faculty Director, and ceramic artist Hideo Mabuchi, participants took part in the labor-intensive process of preparing hundreds of bowls for firing. Each bowl was wood-fired, a traditional technique of Mabuchi. Rather than relying primarily on applied glazes, wood firing allows flame, ash, heat, and atmosphere to interact directly with the clay, producing distinctive surfaces and markings that can never be exactly replicated. The result is a collection of vessels shaped by many hands—and by the transformative forces of the kiln itself. "1,000 Ways to Hold: A new work by Erika Chong Shuch" is on view through August 17. ✨ #AndersonCollection #StanfordArts #1000WaystoHold taken in Anderson Collection at Stanford University by @erkachong
