4:00 pm: On the occasion of the opening of her solo exhibition, Cao Fei joins Chinatown based rap group The Notorious MSG for a performance entitled “STRAIGHT OUT OF TIMES.”
\nThe Notorious MSG is a group of performers inspired by a \u201cgangster sensibility\u201d and what they call the \u201calternative cultural imagination of Chinatown itself.\u201d New York\u2019s Chinatown gives rise to a new social order, entirely different from the social systems in place in many of the \u201chome\u201d countries of Chinatown\u2019s residents. This new order is underground, and provides a safe haven for immigrants and other disenfranchised groups and individuals alike (including, artists) to exist and thrive together. Out of this new camaraderie grows a kind of kinship, and also a resistant power.<\/p>\n

In 2006, Cao Fei found The Notorious MSG\u2019s song \u201cStraight our of Canton\u201d on the Internet while she was producing her Hip Hop series, which takes a look at cultural vernacular as enacted by everyday workers and passersby on the street. The song was performed by the three core musicians who comprise the Notorious MSG \u2014 performers of Cantonese, Taiwanese and Korean origin who all work at restaurants in New York\u2019s Chinatown.<\/p>\n

Upon first meeting and beginning to collaborate with Cao Fei, she quickly became their \u201cCanton Sista!\u201d to quote the group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
