Beauchamp Branch LibraryCNY Artist Initiative: Gallery Talk with Renqian Yang
CNY Artist Initiative featured artist Renqian Yang leads a gallery talk that offers an inside look at her practice and the special exhibition Renqian Yang: Neither Here nor Elsewhere. Light refreshments will be available afterward, and admission is Pay-What-You-Wish. Yang’s work centers on porcelain and the idea of duality. The material is both delicate and enduring, used for everything from industrial components to ornate objects, born of earth yet, once fired, seeming to transcend it. Solid to the touch yet luminous in light, porcelain has captivated artists and collectors for centuries. Working in China, Yang traced the material’s origins back more than 1,300 years. Her porcelain forms echo the sharp lines of vibrant urban landscapes while carrying organic gestures that suggest human feeling. Motifs from twentieth century commercial prints meet the spirituality of classical brush painting, and the clarity of pure white porcelain often stands in striking contrast to vivid color. Neither Here nor Elsewhere brings together pieces created in her Oswego studio and during residencies in China and North Carolina. Grounded in place yet attuned to porcelain’s universality, the work uses the medium for inquiry, reflection, and self expression. Organic and constructed forms merge with personal experiences and shared histories, exploring how emotions endure, change, and connect people across time, place, and culture.

A rich soundscape of crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, gongs, chimes, drums, the crystal lyre, and other ceremonial instruments invites deep rest and helps balance the nervous system. The vibrations assist with clearing emotional heaviness while anchoring intentions in a calm, grounded state. Participants can settle in, reflect on recent progress, realign with strength and stability, and leave feeling clear, centered, and empowered. Sound healing supports the body, mind, and nervous system through vibration, often bringing profound relaxation, reduced stress and anxiety, emotional release, sharper focus, improved sleep and physical restoration, heightened intuition, and a renewed sense of balance. Some instruments may be played near or around the body so the resonance can be felt directly. Comfortable clothing and a water bottle are recommended, and a journal can be helpful for reflections.

The Westcott TheaterItalian Wannabe - Film by Steve Dabal
Italian Wannabe, a film by Steve Dabal, follows a celebrated Los Angeles chef who chooses to begin again in a quiet village in the Italian countryside, not to run from the past but to savor life anew. Bill Disselhorst and his wife Anne built Fiore Market Café in Los Angeles into a place known for its tight-knit community and its fresh bread, and shortly after it earned a spot on Yelp’s Top 100 Restaurants in America, the café was sold. Years later Bill returns to Casperia, a medieval Italian town where his love of food first took root. There he slows his pace, kneads dough by hand, shares meals with neighbors, and reconnects with the enduring ties that remain when other things fall away. Presented through intimate, observational scenes, poetic moments, and rich portraits of Casperia’s residents, the film reflects on human connection, the search for belonging, and the simple rituals that make a truly satisfying meal. Doors open before the screening, and a Q&A follows.
