member’s newsletter | fall 2009 The Collections and Paintings of Roger Shimomura YELLOW On display September 11, 2009-April 18, 2010 TERROR: Safeco Insurance Foundation Special Exhibits Gallery at the Wing Luke Asian Museum “It is my sincerest hope that this body of material will serve as an effective metaphor for all types of racial stereotyping...” Exhibition Artist Statement by Roger Shimomura I can practically measure my life according to what I was collecting at the time. My earliest collecting memory was saving soda pop bottle caps whenever I bought one or whenever I saw one on the ground outside of the neighborhood grocery store. Because the bottles came in different flavors and colors I had to have all of them. I used to dig the cork discs out of the inside of the caps, then place the caps over my shirt, and push the cork back under the lid thus creating badges that I could wear. I recall with pride having more caps and a wider variety than any of my friends. After that, I collected popsicle sticks, radio premiums, and the ubiquitous bubble gum cards. In junior high school, I collected comic books of Dick Tracy, Nancy & Sluggo, Captain Marvel, and Walt Disney. I seldom read the stories, but looked at the artwork absorbing the flat prismatic color style that has become the signature look of my artwork today. In high school, I collected movie star photographs and began to buy 1950s rock n’ roll records. About the same Yellow Terror. Roger Shimomura, 2008. Acrylic on canvas, 60” x 72”. Courtesy of the artist. time, I became a big fan of the Seattle Rainiers baseball team of the now defunct Pacific Coast League, obtaining autographs, one by one, of the entire team coached by Fred Hutchinson in their championship year in 1955. I collected anything that came in a popcorn box or premiums that were given away at special games. In college, I began to accumulate long playing jazz albums, ultimately acquiring nearly every album made by John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Roland Kirk, Thelonius Monk, and many others. The move to Syracuse in upstate New York for graduate school in 1967 opened a new door for me as I was suddenly among graduate art students, all of whom collected things, which fueled their art making processes. Competition was keen for popular objects such as advertising display items, movie star collectibles, and anything related to popular culture. Our modest living spaces resembled small, cramped, family-owned five and dime stores. In 1969, when I arrived in Lawrence, Kansas, I began attending estate auctions, which yielded tin windup toys and old Walt Disney memorabilia, as well as Fiestaware, chalkware figurines, salt and pepper shakers, art deco radios, salesman samples, pottery, carnivalware and contemporary painting and sculpture. In the 1990s, I discovered eBay and began to seriously collect everything that had to do with the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. This collection ranged from mimeographed newsletters and high school yearbooks to handmade furniture made out of scrap lumber. I also began to collect horrific stereotypical graphic depictions of Japanese during World War II in every form available such as Jap hunting licenses, postcards, advertisements, books, greeting cards, pinbacks, song (Continued on p. 4) The Wing Luke Asian Museum is very grateful to Roger Shimomura for generously donating his lifetime stereotypes memorabilia collection as part of the Museum’s Collections (25% are currently on display as part of Yellow Terror; the rest are housed in the Wing Luke Asian Museum’s Collections). The collections are Roger Shimomura’s extensive and unique personal collection of items from everyday American life that depict stereotypical images of Asians, perhaps the largest such collection in the nation: over 300 pairs of salt and pepper shakers, over 80 Halloween masks, assorted toys and everyday household items. A catalogue for this exhibition is available through our Museum Marketplace. Cultural Transcendence On display December 18, 2009-June 19, 2010 | George Tsutakawa Art Gallery at Wing Luke Asian Museum Opening reception: Thursday, December 17, 2009 5:30pm-6:30pm Members’ exclusive preview | 6:30pm-7:30pm Open to the public In Cultural Transcendence, five Asian Pacific Islander American artists exhibit works that focus on a step forward from traditional to new media: materials expanding beyond their inherent meanings. Their conceptual themes peer into history but do not dwell on a negative past– inequality, discrimination, and alienation; instead they search the present and envision a better tomorrow. Cultural Transcendence explores the importance of technology in our modern experience and technology’s influence on contemporary installation art. MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

[02] Preserve life stories at the Museum’s Oral History Lab

We all have stories to share and stories to hear. The Oral History Lab in the Governor Gary Locke Library and Community Heritage Center at the Wing Luke Asian Museum is available to the public to record the life stories of friends, family and community members. At the Oral History Lab, we have instructions, equipment and tools for oral history gathering— but we need you to provide the stories.

What is an oral history? Oral histories record historic information from individuals with first-hand knowledge of events, families, communities and time periods. Their perspectives and viewpoints provide life to newspaper headlines, photographic records, geographic maps and factual statistics. Oral histories can be structured

Fumi Hayashida at Wing Luke Asian to record one individual’s life in-depth, often stretching over many sessions. Oral histories also can be Museum’s Yellow Terror exhibit opening. structured for shorter sessions, recording specific moments or general overviews. Wing Luke Asian Museum photo. Why record an oral history? Oral histories capture valuable stories that have never been recorded. These are the stories of everyday people and communities often overlooked in our history books. Time spent sharing an oral history is memorable.

The Oral History Lab is free to use by appointment. Please call (206) 623-5124 ext. 121 for more information. Celebrate your holidays at Wing Luke!

(Continued from page 1) sheets, ceramicware, magazines, patriotics, posters, etc. It was this collection that led to a series of works that I have revisited on many occasions, and it is this collection that eventually led to this exhibition at the Wing Luke Asian Museum. As I am approaching the age when I must concern myself with the fate of these collections, I have decided to start with the two collections last mentioned. I have always felt indebted to the American History Museum of the Smithsonian for hosting my painting exhibition (2000) “An American Diary”, a perspective of the camp experience as recorded by my grandmother in her diaries. I was recently made aware that the museum is currently organizing an exhibition of camp materials that will travel nationally, so the infusion of more items into their collection seemed to be particularly timely. My camp collection will be Different Citizens. Roger Shimomura, 2009. Acrylic on canvas, 36” x 45”. Courtesy of the artist. sent to them within the next six months. As for the stereotypes collection, I was particularly sensitive to the delicate physical nature of these materials and the care that they require. When I toured the new Wing Luke Asian Museum in Seattle, I was thoroughly impressed by their new archives and by the accessibility of their collections. Cassie Chinn, now Deputy Executive Director, was the first to suggest the donation of this collection to the museum. The exhibition Yellow Terror: The Collections and Paintings of Roger Shimomura and the accompanying catalogue with the insightful essay by curator, Dr. Stacey Uradomo-Barre, mark the official change of ownership of the collection. It is my sincerest hope that this body of material will serve as an effective metaphor for all types of racial stereotyping, for our government has shown that during times of national crises, lessons of past injustices to its own citizens are usually forgotten.
