Pasadena Buddhist Temple has been the fortunate beneficiary of having Alan Hiroshi Nakagawa as our Artist-in-Residence for 3 years, through the generosity of grants provided through the auspices of Side Street Project. In addition to working with our Sangha, Alan has his own art projects and has been selected to be part of an exhibit at the USC Pacific Asian Museum: "Intervention: Fresh Perspectives after 50 Years."

PBT Members are invited to a special exhibitions tour at the USC Pacific Asia Museum, 46 N Los Robles Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101
3:30 PM, Thursday, January 13, 2022
Please rsvp by Monday January 10 by using this form or emailing the temple at: PasadenaSangha@gmail.com
Museum Curator Rebecca Hall and PBT Artist-in-resident Alan Nakagawa will collaborate on the tour which will include the development of the group exhibition:"Intervention: Fresh Perspectives After 50 Years"
Alan's installation is titled "tamashiP galactic". The fake sci-fi movie was inspired by the 2,400 objects in the collection that have no information because they were acquired before the Museum had a proper registration system. The Museum will eventually deaccession them. Alan calls them "orphan objects" and his sci-fi inspired art installation aims to save them from their fate.
The installation includes a soundtrack, spaceship, movie schwag and a dozen Sarcie Dolls.The dolls were created during the summer of 2021 with the Sumire-Kai, the Temple's Sewing Club.

If you will need a ride to the museum, located at 46 Los Robles Ave., Pasadena, 91001, please call or email the temple at the time you register. Thank you.

Admission to the museum is free on Thursdays. There is a charge for the private tour of $8 per person ($6 for seniors). The first 12 persons to register will have their tour fee paid for by a donor. If you elect to make a tour donation, it will be "paid forward" to cover any additional attendees.

Please don't miss this special opportunity. There are a limited number of spots, so please RSVP soon.
