Dorothy Chang

Series consists of final scores, edited scores, notes, and a musical program related to Dorothy Chang’s composition Gateways: Double Concerto for Erhu and Piano. Gateways was commissioned by Nicole Ge Li and Corey Hamm of the Piano-Erhu Project (PEP). Players of the erhu and piano, respectively, they began PEP as a means of exploring the tonal, musical, and cultural blends between two iconic Eastern and Western instruments. For her addition to PEP’s mission, Chang reflected on how she might address the issue of ‘east meets west,’ especially given the solo instruments’ highly distinct and disparate sonic characteristics, performance practices, and musical traditions. Gradually, the piece evolved as a patchwork of musical fragments, moments, and memories gathered from her own multicultural experiences as a first-generation Chinese American, a Western expatriate living in Taiwan, and now an immigrant to Canada. Woven into the three movements are references to a 90’s Chinese pop song, a children’s rhyme, opulent Romanticism, American minimalism, and other influences both subtle and not. The title refers to a Tang Dynasty poem that depicts a gateway as both an opportunity and a barrier, reflecting a deep yearning for a faraway time, place, or memory. The work premiered April 14, 2018 at the VSO Annex Theatre; Ge Li and Hamm served as soloists; William Rowson conducted members of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

Ephemera

This subseries is made up of any items which do not fit into the other categories noted elsewhere in this series, but which were stored among the various collected publications in this series. It is mostly made up of published materials, albeit often unconventional ones.

This subseries includes posters, pamphlets or flyers relating to shows or events, printed essays, calendars, travel guides, invitations to exhibitions, playing cards, assembling boxes, various notebooks written in by Anna Banana, artworks and other miscellaneous materials.

Zines

Subseries includes items published in small batches, which might have been created using technologies such as Xerox photocopying, and at home binding techniques including staples and sewing, and which are most often in small (i.e. smaller than A4size) formats, or items which Anna defined as zines. Items are often self-published, or published through small collectives.

This subseries can be differentiated from other subseries as a result of the format and the content of the files. For example, it excludes exhibit catalogues, as Banana distinguished in her own filing system between the two, so small, zine-like exhibit catalogue are not included. Files are distinguished by the names of zines or zine collections. It includes one-off booklets, handmade artists poetry books, handmade or custom zines, some handmade “one of a kind books,” and regularly published small format zines and newsletters.
