“The show, co-curated by Montalvo’s Judy Koong Dennis and ICA SJ’s Zoë Latzer, ties the history of racism in America to the Villa Montalvo site a century ago when it was the home of California Sen. James Duval Phelan, remembered largely for his racist policies aimed at preventing Chinese, Japanese and Korean immigration.”

On March 23rd, ICA San José and Montalvo Arts Center debuted our joint exhibition P L A C E : Reckonings by Asian American Artists. The night was filled with music, hors d’oeuvres, and community. Over 573 people attended our public reception Saturday evening, including Yan Zhao, the Mayor of Saratoga. Mayor Zhao honored the ICA, Montalvo, and co-curators Judy Koong Dennis and Zoë Latzer for their contributions to the current exhibition.
