At a little past 9 o’clock on a recent Thursday night, it was one of just a small handful of places in the entire neighborhood that was still open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first thing you notice about Lounge Chinatown is the decor, which is so hiply and aggressively Asia-fied in its aesthetics that 20-year-old me, at the very height of my AZN pride, would have \u003ci>eaten it up\u003c/i> — all sleek red leather booths, lucky cat figurines and sexily back-lit Taiwanese whiskey bottles. Five or six different kinds of light fixtures, all designed to resemble various paper lanterns, bask the dining room in a nightclub-like glow.

To Lin Sugarman, Yuen had been a lovable goofball — a man fond of donuts, offbeat restaurants and \u003cem>Big Brother\u003c/em> marathons. It was only when her beloved “popo” (Cantonese for maternal grandmother) died five years later that Lin Sugarman discovered a box of her uncle’s writing that revealed a different picture — a nefarious past she didn’t know he’d had.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13914487']Lin Sugarman’s journey to uncover Yuen’s true story is now a podcast titled \u003cem>Magnificent Jerk. \u003c/em>Across seven engrossing episodes, we find out that Yuen had been a member of notorious Chinese-American gangs in the Chinatowns of both San Francisco and Oakland. He had acted as a pimp, served time in prison and survived serious drug addiction. Yuen started innumerable street brawls, attempted to extort a family, and was not averse to brandishing guns to make a point. And, in a remarkable twist, when he finally left his criminal past behind, he used his street knowledge to start a career in Hollywood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yuen’s experience in Hollywood, as told by Lin Sugarman in the Apple Original podcast, is a startling reflection of the racism that was rife in the entertainment industry in the 1990s. Yuen’s biggest project, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_c-xagWUGk\">\u003cem>Crazy Six\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, started as a script he wrote about Asian American gangs and a drug deal set in Oakland.

Attendees will also be able to view a corresponding map on the wall as they listen.

Just before arriving in San Francisco, he became interested in Chinatown’s Telephone Exchange from the early 1900s, where residents had to have their phone calls manually patched through by operators working on switchboards. When reviewing old photos, he noticed that these operators looked “the same as people playing electronic instruments” like synthesizers. He decided to gather objects and spare parts from local residents to recreate the patching mechanism and other sound devices for attendees to operate and play with. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strewn across his table are various inexplicable items: a pair of bright pink doll heads, wooden takeout chopsticks, a tin cup, rusted coins and torn- out sketchbook pages with rough approximations of his plans. Full of whimsy and reinvention, Lai’s work is playful but still grounded in community. By building on everyday artifacts donated by local residents, he revisits a past of old technology through a present that has long moved on from those days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13920980\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1999px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1.jpg\" alt=\"View over shoulder of man working at table, sketches taped to wall\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13920980\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andio Lai is building sound devices from objects collected from the community. \u003ccite>(Kristie Song)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When defining community, artist Hoi-yu Tsang is zooming in microscopically and thinking about how individuals comprise a greater whole. Since the beginning of the residency, Tsang has been wandering around Chinatown, bright pink sticky pad and neon orange pencil in tow, interviewing local residents. “One question that I will ask everyone is how they define themselves,” says Tsang. After asking about favorite spots and daily routines, she soon realized that many people were excited to discuss their stories — to flesh out the details of their lives that they hadn’t been able to before. In a couple of weeks, Tsang had collected over 50 interviews filled with rich histories and anecdotes tied to various places in Chinatown. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She began to sketch her interviewees’ silhouettes on the back wall in 41 Ross, filling their shapes with the stories they had told her. Attendees will be able to draw out slips of paper that have numbers corresponding to the silhouettes and then set out on self-guided tours based on the oral interviews. They’ll be able to see, hear and experience the places that have been important to so many residents living in Chinatown — some of whom have lived there for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As they enter the last week of their residency, the artists feel bittersweet about leaving San Francisco soon. “My brain is still digesting,” Andio laughs, wishing he had a bit more time to engage with the local community. But in their brief stay at 41 Ross, they’ve been able to sonically expand upon questions of identity and home. They’ve noted the vast similarities between Chinatown and Hong Kong: standing at any intersection in either place, you can hear Cantonese being spoken by locals, early 2000s Mandopop songs coming out of video rental stores, and the rustling of plastic bags filling with produce at open markets. Yet, they realize, there is something inimitable about both locations. And though the differences are minute, it only takes stopping to listen to find them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>‘Simple Interactions’ is on view at 41 Ross through Monday, Oct. 31.

By collecting sounds and making them accessible for all, Chan and Lai hope to encourage people to be more present in their daily lives: to take in what is around them sonically and think about how these sounds can bring about a different kind of correspondence and reflection. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13920981\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1999px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image2.jpg\" alt='View through door to yellow interior with \"open studio\" taped to glass' width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13920981\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image2.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image2-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image2-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 41 Ross space in San Francisco’s Chinatown. \u003ccite>(Kristie Song)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We wanted people to try to stop for a little while and listen to what sounds you could hear,” says Chan. “Is an airplane flying around?

Just before arriving in San Francisco, he became interested in Chinatown’s Telephone Exchange from the early 1900s, where residents had to have their phone calls manually patched through by operators working on switchboards. When reviewing old photos, he noticed that these operators looked “the same as people playing electronic instruments” like synthesizers. He decided to gather objects and spare parts from local residents to recreate the patching mechanism and other sound devices for attendees to operate and play with. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strewn across his table are various inexplicable items: a pair of bright pink doll heads, wooden takeout chopsticks, a tin cup, rusted coins and torn- out sketchbook pages with rough approximations of his plans. Full of whimsy and reinvention, Lai’s work is playful but still grounded in community. By building on everyday artifacts donated by local residents, he revisits a past of old technology through a present that has long moved on from those days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13920980\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1999px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1.jpg\" alt=\"View over shoulder of man working at table, sketches taped to wall\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13920980\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/image1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andio Lai is building sound devices from objects collected from the community. \u003ccite>(Kristie Song)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When defining community, artist Hoi-yu Tsang is zooming in microscopically and thinking about how individuals comprise a greater whole. Since the beginning of the residency, Tsang has been wandering around Chinatown, bright pink sticky pad and neon orange pencil in tow, interviewing local residents. “One question that I will ask everyone is how they define themselves,” says Tsang. After asking about favorite spots and daily routines, she soon realized that many people were excited to discuss their stories — to flesh out the details of their lives that they hadn’t been able to before. In a couple of weeks, Tsang had collected over 50 interviews filled with rich histories and anecdotes tied to various places in Chinatown. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She began to sketch her interviewees’ silhouettes on the back wall in 41 Ross, filling their shapes with the stories they had told her. Attendees will be able to draw out slips of paper that have numbers corresponding to the silhouettes and then set out on self-guided tours based on the oral interviews. They’ll be able to see, hear and experience the places that have been important to so many residents living in Chinatown — some of whom have lived there for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As they enter the last week of their residency, the artists feel bittersweet about leaving San Francisco soon. “My brain is still digesting,” Andio laughs, wishing he had a bit more time to engage with the local community. But in their brief stay at 41 Ross, they’ve been able to sonically expand upon questions of identity and home. They’ve noted the vast similarities between Chinatown and Hong Kong: standing at any intersection in either place, you can hear Cantonese being spoken by locals, early 2000s Mandopop songs coming out of video rental stores, and the rustling of plastic bags filling with produce at open markets. Yet, they realize, there is something inimitable about both locations. And though the differences are minute, it only takes stopping to listen to find them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>‘Simple Interactions’ is on view at 41 Ross through Monday, Oct. 31.
