The Thousand Mile Journey

The Thousand Mile Journey spotlights leading voices from the Asian diaspora in the U.S. on a bold expedition into the realms of abstraction, surrealism, and dreamscapes. In a significant departure from a decade dominated by overtly representational figurative work, these contemporary artists delve into the subconscious, initiating a renewed exploration of the inner self. This shift arrives at a pivotal moment in the art world, as marginalized voices—long suppressed by fine art institutions—are finally being celebrated and uplifted. The journey undertaken by these artists mirrors broader global conversations on movement, migration, and identity. Their inward-facing artistic exploration resonates with themes seen in this year's Venice Biennale, Foreigners Everywhere, offering a critical reflection on the complex and layered experiences of Asian artists in the diaspora, and positioning this exhibition as an essential contribution to contemporary art discourse. As a fundraiser to benefit CIDA, an organization supporting Asian diaspora communities of different abilities, The Thousand Mile Journey represents the first step in a shared movement. Together, we embark on this journey—artists, curators, collectors and audiences alike—uniting in our commitment to progress, empowerment, and positive change.

Net proceeds from The Thousand Mile Journey will be donated to CIDA. Please contact info@clubhouse.art for all questions and press inquiries.
