“Culture Shifters: The Change-Makers We Are Watching In 2023 | Jenny Lam Turned Down Disney At Age 8 — And Carved Her Own Path As An Artist” by Yue Li

“Nancy Bechtol, a 73-year-old artist and photojournalist, has been in five Lam-curated shows over the past 13 years, including I CAN DO THAT. Lam’s knack for ‘creating situations and having people collaborate in unique ways’ has been ‘eye-opening’ for Bechtol.

‘For an artist to let a visitor come in and draw or manipulate your original artwork is quite a leap,’ said Bechtol, who was one of the first artists featured on Artists on the Lam. ‘That’s the Jenny mindset. She thinks in ways that are creatively engaging. She’s embracing people artistically, intellectually, emotionally, in many ways.’

To Lam, art is for everyone.”

“Featured Artist: Jenny Lam + Interview with the Lover's Eye Press Team” by Eniko Deptuch Vághy

“When I first saw Jenny Lam, I knew I had to meet her. As an artist, independent curator, and overall badass, Jenny’s sparkling grace and exuding talent make her an inherently magnetic and unforgettable figure. Not only is Jenny brilliant, but she is probably one of the busiest artists I’ve ever encountered. Her interest in the world and people around her reveals her belief in the importance of facilitating connections between individuals through conversation or collaborative art projects—sometimes both simultaneously.”

“SLAYSIAN, An Art Show at Home” by Eileen Li

“Spanning neighborhoods, ethnicities, and mediums, SLAYSIAN showcases a subset of artists that have always been part of the city’s art scene, but rarely acknowledged as a collective. […] SLAYSIAN also examines how artists can value their identity while refusing to be pigeonholed by it. […] Their work raises questions of what it means to inhabit spaces designed specifically for artists to grow, but where the Asian American experience may still be sidelined. […] In addition to its role in educating and engaging with the broader Chicago community, much of SLAYSIAN reflects an inward-looking conversation among Asian Americans. […] SLAYSIAN embodies the aspiration that those at the outskirts of a society can redefine what success means for ourselves. […] Narrative plentitude also includes the capacity for change. By allowing for a multitude of stories, Asian American artists can now practice a freedom long enjoyed by their white peers. Instead of being locked into one narrative as victim or immigrant, their art is allowed to grow with the times. […] The exhibition showcases the determination of individuals to find their own answers to what the role of an Asian American artist is. […] The digital forum offers the opportunity for at-home viewers to take part in this important work—to help these stories grow, evolve, and be seen.”

“SLAYSIAN Takes on a New Life as an Online Exhibit” by Michael Wu

“When Jenny Lam set out to curate SLAYSIAN, she knew it could be anything. Lam, an artist herself, had already made an impression on Chicago’s art world. […] This was a show that was designed to withstand these sorts of changes. This was a show that would not only build itself on the themes that bind together the Asian American community, but also the countless personal histories of its artists and the generations that came before them. […] She has an eye for technical proficiency […] she waited for a moment of kismet, the type of reaction sparked in the viewer by the artist that is so visceral and instantaneous it could best be described as chemical.”
