jeanniebieber: So I went to an exhibit in San Francisco about the terracotta soldiers. I posted the pictures on FB and this happened. Ha! Don’t forget to tag your pals on Facebook. Ohhhhhh Facebook. We suppose this is just good facial features recognition at work. Thanks for checking out our terracotta warriors exhibition and posting this, jeanniebieber.

Even if you could go to Xi’an, you wouldn’t be able to get this up close and personal with real terracotta warriors from 2,000+ years ago. Seriously, we’re not into boasting, but this installation is like nothing else.  Even if you could go to Xi’an, you wouldn’t be able to get this up close and personal with real terracotta warriors from 2,000+ years ago.

Love this photo by Antony Marshall, who snapped beautiful pictures of our gallery collection on his recent visit. We found him here on Tumblr. A hidden gem in the Civic Center neighborhood, our galleries are great to get lost in. This particular piece is a Chinese spirit guardian, one of a pair, from approximately 500-535, made of painted low-fire ceramic. Spiny backed, strange, slightly grotesque, and almost comical, these figures were meant to protect the tomb from unwanted visitors.

At our August 23 after-hours MATCHA event, Dohee Lee illuminated Korean shamanism (interacting with spirits) through her own particular multi-disciplinary framework. The first photo was a true wow moment. During a mini-performance, Lee sat down next to this fellow, a gent with a visitor guide in his lap, and what ensued was some great visitor participation. He went along with whatever she threw his way, and did not flinch when she got extremely close to his face, noses touching. The tension and suspense was great. When she opened her hat contraption, he took off his hat. Photos by Quincy Stamper.
