This week it was announced that the Chinese Cultural Centre was cancelling the planned Chinese Calligraphic show, even though it had already been posted on the CCC website. The reason initially cited, was because of a previous booking. The CCC has now stated that the exhibition can go on, if Gabriel Yu can come up with insurance to cover the exhibit. "Kitty Ma (CCC Chair), told media that the reason for CCC declining BC Coalition's venue rental request is because the venue was pre-booked, " wrote Gabriel Yui to me in an e-mail. "Likewise, Kitty provided new excuses for cancelling my show. She told media that if I could bear the insurance and have it purchase by tomorrow, they could put it in tomorrow's committee meeting. No one from the CCC contacted me about this, I left a message to Ma and she haven't got back to me. Besides, how can I buy insurance when the show is cancelled and no time given for appraisal?"   more »
