Tam’s latest exhibition, Swallowing Moutains, is at the McCord Stewart Museum until August 13
Montreal artist Karen Tam has mounted an exhibition at the McCord Stewart Museum entitled Swallowing Mountains. Drawing on the McCord’s archives as well as donations from the community, it features photographs and documents from the city’s historic Chinatown as well as Tam’s own creations inspired by traditional Chinese art forms such as shadow puppets and western Chinoiserie. The Globe and Mail spoke with Tam about the exhibit.
It went up to $500 by the early 1900s. It was exorbitant, only the wealthy could afford to bring their wives or their children.I believe it was a replacement for the original that he lost. But yes, he had paid the head tax.When I was in high school, it was a history class assignment to find something related to Canadian history. I just started asking my family and asking my grandfather.
Well, it’s definitely small, but I think that the community here was very much in contact with Chinatown communities across the country and in the States too. When I talked to some of the lenders of the photographs and other materials, they all knew each other, they all grew up together.
