(Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導)全美黃氏宗親會8月22日晚在帝苑大酒樓公宴，席開59桌，不但場面盛大，席間佳話也多，包括父女同台主持，姐妹歌舞輝映，全美黃氏首名女主席露臉，嘉賓飛越半個地球趕來等，不一而足。

在公宴的嘉賓致詞時，僑委會副委員長呂元榮說明自己是代表僑委會委員長陳士魁前來祝賀全美黃氏懇親大會成功。駐波士頓台北經濟文化辦事處處長賴銘琪也特地感謝黃氏在馬英九總統七月訪問波士頓時，掛出巨幅青天白日滿地紅旗幟，讓西方媒體估計出席的2000多人同時看到。既是波士頓黃氏宗親會名譽顧問，也是出席嘉賓的黃海龍表示，他曾有幸出席全世界黃氏懇親大會，很高興再次見到多名舊識。
這場公宴的第一個佳話是宗親會首度出現父女同台當司儀。波士頓黃氏宗親會議長黃國麟和擔任波士頓消防局副局長的女兒黃瑞瑜，兩人一中一英的搭擋，合作無間，為宗親公所的鼓勵年輕人參與，樹立典範。
當晚的另一段兩代同堂佳話，是麻州眾議員黃子安與母親黃陳美蘭，姊姊黃彩鳳都出席支持宗親會活動。黃子安的父親，已辭世的黃偉炎，不但曾任波士頓黃氏主席，也早在1997年就當過總長，是波士頓早年的四名黃氏元老之一。

波士頓黃氏宗親會婦女組主任黃周麗桃，不但敦請該組歌唱老師劉小梅教唱國語版“祖訓歌”，展現宗親公所不只是講廣東話人的姓氏公所之餘，還把妹妹周美桃所創辦的紐英崙養生舞協會邀到會上表演，締造出一段姐歌妹舞的佳話。
今年的全美黃氏懇親大會，出席規模最壯觀的，是全美黃氏首名女性主席，安省黃江夏雲山公所主席黃婉芬所率領，有40多人的多倫多團。當過不止一屆主席的黃婉芬透露，該會有會員不下1600人。

從地球另一端飛來的嘉賓，在僑委會副委員長呂元榮之外，是1990年代中期，曾駐波士頓擔任僑教中心主任的黃海龍。不但許多本地僑胞記得他，波士頓黃氏宗親會也一直把他和曾任中華公所主席，現已定居香港的黃炳鏐，以及已退休的前昆士高中校長黃伯勳等人邀為名譽顧問。

CAI 展覽 8/23
This coming Sunday 8/23 (2pm-5pm), at the Quarry, three big
events are happening simultaneously:
1) the Closing Exhibition of our Stone Carving Symposium,
four artists Miguel Velit, Mark Smith, Viktor Lois and Yin Peet (yes, this year
I am one of the artists team passing on the baton for the "New Art
Archeology"), we will show you what we have done over the past 3 weeks and
talk about our individual caving process.
2) Miguel Velit, our Symposium artist from Peru, will have
his painting around the studio for viewing. Many of you who have been coming
during the Symposium have witnessed him working on his painting. When he
paints, he appears to be in a trance with energy charged from the blue sky and
bright sun directly above him at the Quarry, the result is invigorating.
3) Lastly, but not the least is our young master from
Taiwan, Chou Yu-Chen. Her most unusual "print" show (none like it
around the world). You will see her sitting on the huge 20 feet by 12 feet
plaster slab in a Yoga/acrobatic position doing a very detailed
drawing/painting; meanwhile, in the CAI Gallery would be the show of her print/painting
which she created in the past 3 years in Taiwan. The contrast between the scale
of her paintings versus the detail and complexity of their content is beyond
words. Attached is the Press Release for your information
Acton, MA –
Contemporary Arts International (CAI), a nonprofit art center, announces the
opening an exhibition, “Innovative
Print Making,” featuring small and large-scale, highly detailed work by
Chou Yu-Chen, a young
Taiwanese artist who has recently begun a six month residency at the CAI. The
show will run from August 23 through September 30, 2015 at the CAI
Gallery, which is located at The Quarry, 12.9 beautiful acres located at 68
Quarry Road, Acton MA.
On August 23, 2015 the CAI will host an opening reception for
“Innovative Print Making” from 3pm to 5pm; a closing reception for the fifth
annual stone-carving symposium from 2pm to 3pm, and the exhibition of “Miguel’s
Trip” by Peruvian painter Miguel Velit will installed around the studio
building for viewing as well.
At
The Quarry, Yu-Chen has begun work on a massive twenty by twelve-foot piece
that will ultimately be printed on four panels of Chinese rice paper. This is
the first time in her life she does this big a scale, which CAI is proud of. Yu-Chen
is now drawing a fish motif with oil pastels and a needle pen on a huge slab of
plaster. She has sketched rough positions of her main motifs, but most of her
work is spontaneous.
Yu-Chen
is a 2015 graduate of the Taiwan’s National Kaohsiung Normal University of the
Arts. She has won several major awards in Taiwan, including the Kaohsiung
Awards, and the International Biennial Print Exhibit: 2014 ROC.
According
to Viktor Lois, CAI’s Artistic Director, “At a very young age, Yu Chen
has created a unique technique in which she creates a large-scale,
highly-detailed modern interpretations of the traditional Chinese landscape
art. Since many Taiwanese artists now follow a strictly western style, it’s
refreshing to see Yu-Chen use modern techniques to capture the traditional soul
of Chinese art. ”
In
spite of her youth, Yu-Chen understands that the common life is not common or
simple. She sees life as a series of moments during which one has unsettling
feelings toward one’s environment and other humans, caused by unfulfilled
desires or the intrusion of imperfect feelings, such as jealousy. Yu-Chen uses
deep, dark color to express emotions within her work.
Yu-Chen
contrasts the large-scale of her work with a fine detail that draws the viewer
up close to read carefully into the meaning of the painting. Several
international artists who have commented that her work reflects the maturity of
a much older artist, and her portrayals touch life’s core.
Visitors
are welcomed to witness You-Chen’s creative process (call 617-699-6401 to
schedule an appointment). We suggest a donation of $5 for students and $10
for adults, which will include a tour of the studio and the sculpture
park. For a group rate (10+), please contact us beforehand so that we can
better prepare for your visit.
Contemporary Arts
International (CAI), also known as The Quarry, is a non-profit located in a 12.9-acre quarry in Acton MA. The mission
of CAI is to promote the understanding and appreciation of contemporary arts in
the global context through art education, exhibition, and international
symposium. For more information, visit the CAI’s website.
