City Beneath the City Exhibition Opening Reception

“City Beneath the City,” a contemporary art exhibition exploring the intersections be-tween art and archaeology, opens on January 11, 2013 at the Stanford Archaeology Center, Stanford University. The exhibition consists of artistic displays of artifacts from San Jose’s first Chinese community, the Market Street Chinatown, which was destroyed in an arson fire on May 4, 1887. Through Rene Yung’s sensitive design, “City Beneath the City” explores the historical tensions that underlie today’s Silicon Valley.
