Asia Song Society is eager to present I WANT A LITTLE SUGAR IN MY BOWL
I want a little sugar in my bowl
I want a little sweetness down in my soul
I could stand some lovin' oh so bad
I feel so funny and I feel so sad
I want a little steam on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up so they'll go
Whatsa matter Daddy Come on, save my soul
I need some sugar in my bowl
I ain't foolin'
I want some sugar in my bowl
You been acting different I've been told
Soothe me
I want some sugar in my bowl
I want some steam on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up so they'll go
Whatsa matter Daddy
Come on save my soul
I want some sugar in my bowl
I ain't foolin'
I want some - yeah - in my bowl.
-- Nina Simone

Toted around, thrown in the corner, recovered as relic or disposed of
as useless, a sack of bones is unavoidably deformed. It is an
apparently dead object subject to the intentions of its creator, or
its purveyor, or its consumer, or maybe just its times.
The group exhibition "Sack of Bones" comes from a viewing of Paul
Rachman's 2006 film, American Hardcore, in which Mark Flood appears as
an interviewee on the topic of 1980's punk rock. The tone of the film
is reverent, to be sure, but more than an ode, the voices in the film
present conflicting parts pride, humor, fraternity, anger, bitterness,
nostalgia, and what are often doleful mechanisms for dealing with the
here-and-now. That Flood was both part of Hardcore as it existed
musically (in 1980 his band, Culturcide, put out their first 7-inch:
"Another Miracle/Consider Museums as Concentration Camps") and has
been practicing visual art for over 30 years poses an interesting
question: how, if at all, can art be hardcore? By embodying
adolescent punk obsession? By miraculous use of irony? By a simple
withdrawal from popular territory?
Consider, for example, the tangled 'attitude problem' precipitated by Reagan-era
punk; there is the myth of a pure strain of FUCK YOU, there is the
myth of the majority's snide perception of its counter-movements, and
then, somewhere in the overlap, there is the problematic dilution of
any rebellion's once-potent beginnings (causing cycles of backlash and
resurgence pretty much ever after). In the art world this tangle is
further convoluted by the relishing of trade and an inherent
affluence, elitism and circuitous pandering that can compromise
anyone's well-intentioned we/they stirrings.
The exhibition as a whole may appear deadpan, satirical or pathetic –
in any case each of the constituent works turns its back on
complacency, and, in doing so, becomes material evidence of resistance
(kicking from within the sack). In other words, with all that is
stacked against the mutinous artist and the mutinous viewer, hope
could lie in objecthood itself.

Deer Most Gracious Friend
ASS is very proud to present for the first time in America an installation by North Korean artist
Chang Chol called "The Lonely Christmas Show". Ass we all knows,
North Korea has been very popular in the news lately and I thought that it would be fantastic to introduce a
human artist from North Korea here in Chinatown, USA just for you. For his installation,
Chang Chol is filling almost half the entire gallery space with the popcorn packaging material
we normally use to protect stuffies when we ship them in boxes.Chang Chol has requested the
gallery to ship whole boxes of these packaging popcorn from here at ASS to his home in North Korea.
He has then shipped back these boxes unopened back to ASS, which we will then fill the gallery space with.
Is this act of Chol's an act of ultimate refusal to the West? Only Chang Chol knows!
Chol will also show a small painting at a secret spot in the room, Will you be able to find it?
It will be fun!The painting, done in oils and containing bits of North Korean calligraphic paper
depicts a single christmas tree in a landscape of snow blindness. Topping this tree will be a single pearl that
Chol has bought from South Korea.Chang Chol does not believe in politics! He wants me to urgently remind
me to tell you that. So what does this little pearl of a painting mean?
Does it mean that all of humanity is entrapped in a singe perfect pearl? Only Chang Chol knows!So I encall you to welcome Chang Chol to America, to New York, to Chinatown and most of all lets show him a SUPER GREAT FUN time!
Yours Graciously,
Terence Koh
Founder/Director Asia Song Society aka ASS
