Three Entrée Restaurant

Description: The artist has converted an empty storefront into a simulated Chinese restaurant ironically offering only three entrees: 1. Cheap and good. (slow) 2. Cheap and fast. (crappy) and 3. Good and fast (expensive). The special of the day, though, is Slow and good. Passersby are invited to place orders on site or grab a free menu on the door.

Artist: After being uprooted from Mainland China and drifting a few years in Switzerland, Niana Liu has lived in San Francisco for ten years. Six years ago, she abandoned the ship of corporate employment and jumped on a small boat for an adventurous bumpy ride. Self taught in art, design and photography, she demonstrated art in the Asian Art Museum; exhibited at Kearny Street Workshop, Chinese Culture Center, Gualala Art Center, University of California Chico campus; and had her photography featured in National Geographic China. She’s now working on a documentary project about Classical Chinese Puzzles.
