Scratching at the Moon is accompanied by a fully illustrated scholarly exhibition catalogue designed by Dorothée Perret of DoPe Press. The publication features a curatorial essay co-written by Anna Sew Hoy and Anne Ellegood, an excerpt from a text by acclaimed writer and scholar Julietta Singh, and three commissioned essays by curator and writer John Tain (Curator of the 2024 Lahore Biennale); curator Kris Kuramitsu (Curator at Large, The Mistake Room, Los Angeles); and writer and editor Sarah Wang (Adjunct Assistant Professor at Barnard College, New York). Together, these commissioned essays chart the artists, attitudes, cultural spaces, and exhibitions that have defined the Asian American arts networks of Los Angeles since the early aughts. The catalogue also includes five conversations among groups of exhibiting artists in which they discuss wide-ranging topics including their work, personal histories of immigration and how it shapes their world view, and their memories of the L.A. art scene from the 1980s to the present. Additionally, the catalogue features generous artist portfolios with images and information selected by the artists, accompanied by texts on each artist’s work written by Ellegood, Curatorial Associate Caroline Ellen Liou, and Senior Curator Amanda Sroka.
