BIKGOON

facepalm ✋ facepooch 🐕 and faceparrot 🦜 Come by the @cccsanfrancisco CCC both at the SF art market to meet ✋✋✋

Better with 🔊 and you don't want to skip slide 3. Circa 2018, cleaning up after an event w/ a balloon install. @bikgoon and I just went "let's just walk it to the end of the bridge and see what happens" and maybe by the end of the bridge, we'll figure out what to do with it. Nothing could have prepared us for what actually happened. Perhaps a part of me always thinks back on this encounter--how pure, how joyful, how strange, how beautiful.

Meet Arm Day, Leg Day 🐱 This new year, CCC, Edge on the Square, and artist Bijun Liang arm up with protection and prosperity as we bring back the iconic giant inflatable guardian cats for two days at the 2026 Flower Market Art Zone! 🗓️ Feb 14-15 | Sat 10am-6pm, Sun 9am-6pm 📍 600 Block of Grant Avenue 🔗 cccsf.us/makeyourownluck “Arm Day, Leg Day” offers a playful take on traditional Chinese guardian lions and beckoning cats, blending symbols of protection and good fortune. Festival-goers who pet these inflatable cats can receive “福 Body Protection,” a clever nod to the Chinese character for good fortune (福) and the idea of full-body wellness and strength. Guardian lions are revered as protectors, while beckoning cats are believed to attract prosperity. “Arm Day, Leg Day” brings a fresh interpretation of these traditional symbols through large-scale inflatable installations. The emphasis on physical strength and vitality also aligns with the cultural importance placed on health and wellbeing during this celebratory time of year. Join us for giant inflatables, dance-alongs, and interactive photo-ops. Make your own luck through art, movement, and community! About the Artist: Bijun Liang @bikgoon is a Chinese-American artist based in San Francisco. Her practice encompasses interactive installations and public art. Using a unique blend of playfulness, humor, and crowdsourcing, Liang puts the voices of the community at the forefront of the art she creates. In recent years, Liang exhibited her works at The Headlands Center for the Arts, Chinatown Media & Arts Collaborative, the Chinese Culture Center, and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. 👉 Follow @cccsanfrancisco @edgeonthesquare for more about Art Zone! #lunarnewyear #makeyourownluck #flowermarketfair #sfchinatown #sfart

Pull up to the party. BYOP. BRING YOUR OWN POPO 🐦 Thank you to our pigeon keeper, Bijun Liang @bikgoon for collaborating with us on your behalf of creating the 1 of 1 POPO (Public Opinion Pigeon Officer) — a collective of pigeon artists fluttering into a soft landing place for conversations around community and art. In Liang’s collaboration with us, Pigeon officers roam and wander in hopes of driving connection and in the realm of Dream State, these pigeons symbolize the immigrant experience — overlooked, resilient, and endlessly adaptive. Often dismissed as pests, they survive in spaces not built for them akin to communities forced to make homes in hostile systems. Their presence becomes a quiet resistance: a reminder that even when displaced, we rebuild. And we dream again. huge thank you to mother of the POPO @bikgoon 🤰 big thank you to our pigeons @angelicaelaineg @borawee_ @thenameisxena @sketchbeetleart @mikeysound @jimmie.flora @heaartcore @the_kev_dude + angela luong 🪶 big thank you to our photographers @jeepeezee @bydakotalim @fdfeels @kylavray @jes.dos @nicolecondez @xninjason 🎞️ thank you @asianartmuseum ☁️

The POPO (Public Opinion Pigeon Officers) is a collective of pigeon artists fluttering into a soft landing place for conversations, centering around community and art. Grateful to all the unhinged pigeons @hootlesart @soybirdboy @sketchbeetleart @Phillip.chen.ig @theraoster @ariie_tea @melobum @jst2bfrank & to the volunteers (sorry we didn't catch your ig) who made it all happen ! Our debut at June's Chinatown Night Market was a success, thanks to our collaboration with @cccsanfrancisco and @edgeonthesquare on the "Art Bites" Art Block Party. POPO returns tomorrow for the Hungry Ghost Festival - can't wait to see you there! Courtesy of the Chinese Culture Center, video credit to Robert Borsorf

"When the pigeons lose their home, where do they go?" The birds can't hang out at their usual spot anymore, so they've found a new nest at the Chinese Culture Center. Go visit them and take a "free pigeon" with you, and help the pigeons find their new home 🕊️🕊️ "Free Pigeon" is an interactive free-roaming installation created in reaction to the upcoming renovations at Portsmouth Square. ---------- I'm always behind the times when it comes to posting, but this nest has been nesting for a while!!! Come by before the pigeons are gone 👀 It was awesome being able to be part of Perilous Playground alongside such inspiring artists, curators, and creative beings. https://www.cccsf.us/post/perilous-playground From curators @candgartpartment : The show explores how different artistic practices (at the West Coast, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore) help develop and sustain the community spirit, amid and after the process of gentrification and related resistant movements. How does art help us to walk together and go even further, even after we have been dispersed? I look forward to meeting with all the participating artists and have in-depth knowledge exchange to help us imagine more alternative playgrounds for all. .

I will forever feel honored that my doodles have become tattoos for @chrisbax1 & @blueefinn , especially now that they are forever humans with each other 🥹 Who would've thought that first one would get a matching partner years later!!!
