A transplant from Seattle, The Charlie James Gallery recently hosted its first group show, highlighting Bay Area artists. They emphasize political and culturally critical work that plays with the notions of identity (like the faux photographic memoirs of a faux flight attendant, sex worker, housewife). Given the fact that Charlie James is a former senior manager for Microsoft, we imagine his perspective is somewhat unique among Chinatown art gallery owners. www.cjamesgallery.com |
