    Locating Vietnamese Contemporary Art Scene

    Locating Vietnamese contemporary art scene An ethnographic Hong-Ngoc TRIEU attempt from afar TRI14437741 Abstract. Initially, as a student majored in Design Cultures, I was intrigued in Vietnam precisely because I barely knew anything about the art history of my country. Having exposed to the studies of Design Cultures and Histories, I set out to fnd how Vietnamese art history is chronicled by putting it in a complex relationship with the sociocultural and political background. Identifying and locating art from a place like Vietnam that rarely fgures in art history cannot be done overnight as I am thousand miles away from the happenings. This essay, thus, is my humble attempt to look at Vietnam’s contemporary art scene through an afar-ethnographic approach mainly by fexible design methods such as interview, survey, case study, discourse analysis and participant observation. Given how little experience in the real-world research and history learning that I possess, my fndings are based on personal analysis, percep-on and hence, do not necessarily reflect other’s views on the same topic. Entrance to contemporary art scene: tracing the Vietnamese art history In order to investigate the Vietnamese reform in 1986, where restriction on contemporary art scene, I am essentially artistic creativity were steadily relaxed asking the question of how it is and hence allowed artist greater freedom constructed and perceived within the art of expression and facilitating exposure to community and the stream of Vietnamese contemporary trends in both Asian and history of art. While world contemporary Western art. However, unlike the world art had started and risen to prominence contemporary art with its rich outline of since the 1950s - 1960s, its Vietnamese artistic movements in term of quantity, counterpart only came into existence in the diversity and quality, Vietnamese latter decades of the twentieth century; contemporary art scene has barely seen therefore, it is relatively new to the public.

    Luggage Store Gallery, Where 40% of the Surrounding Neighborhood Population Is of Southeast Asian Descent

    Sept 7th 2012 - September 29th 2012 Opening Reception Friday Sept 7th, 6pm - 8pm - Closing September 29th Gallery Hours Wednesday - Saturday, 12 noon - 5pm, or by appointment HINTERLANDS aims to merge faraway places. We have transported the hinterlands of Hanoi, through the art and artists that engage with Nha San Studio, Vietnam’s longest running experimental arts space, to a kindred space in San Francisco - The Tenderloin National Forest / Luggage Store Gallery, where 40% of the surrounding neighborhood population is of Southeast Asian descent. HINTERLANDS is The Luggage Store’s first artistic exchange involving artists born, raised and based in Vietnam. HINTERLANDS constists of a three month residency project in which four artists work in collaboration. This project culminates in an exhibition of new works by two of Hanoi’s most exciting young artists. Nguyen Phuong Linh and Nguyen Tran Nam join Lu Yang, a multi-media artist from Shanghai and Gabby Miller from The Bay Area. Hanoi, which translates to “the hinterland between the rivers” is located in the Red River Delta, in the center of Northern Vietnam. The hinterland is the uncharted areas beyond a coastal district or a river’s banks. It is the part of a country where only a few people live and where the infrastructure is weak. The hinterland is beyond what is visible and known, the back country of the mind, the not yet imagined. It is the far-a-way place. www.luggagestoregallery.org 1007 Market Street Graphic Design by Japheth Gonzalez San Francisco, CA 94103 Tel. 425 255 5971 www.luggagestoregallery.org The Luggage Store - www.luggagestoregallery.org The Luggage Store is one of San Francisco's leading nonprofit multidisciplinary arts organizations established in 1987, with three venues in downtown San Francisco; the luggage store (1007 Market Street), the luggage store annex (aka 509 Cultural Center) at 509 Ellis Street and the adjacent Tenderloin National Forest in Cohen Alley (a green community commons for for public art and social interventions).

    An Atlas of Mirrors” Marks the Fifth Edition of the Singapore Biennale

    Media Release Singapore Art Museum Announces Singapore Biennale 2016 Title “An Atlas of Mirrors” marks the Fifth Edition of the Singapore Biennale Singapore, 16 March 2016 - The Singapore Art Museum (SAM) today unveiled the title for the fifth edition of the Singapore Biennale - An Atlas of Mirrors. Through this title, Singapore Biennale 2016 (SB2016) will explore curatorial and artistic themes that pivot on Southeast Asia, but also encompass East and South Asia. Taking place from 27 October 2016 to 26 February 2017, the four-month long international contemporary art exhibition is organised by SAM and commissioned by the National Arts Council of Singapore. SB2016 will feature several site-specific and commissioned contemporary works never seen before on the biennale circuit. SB2016 Title - An Atlas of Mirrors For centuries, atlases and mirrors have been instrumental in humankind’s exploration of the world as we navigate and map our journeys into the unknown. While the atlas helps to chart paths of discovery, the mirror offers reflections and perspectives which can be, at times, skewed and distorted. Bringing together the atlas and mirror as an imagined new ‘device’ creates possibilities for unexpected ways of thinking and seeing. An Atlas of Mirrors will draw on diverse artistic viewpoints that trace the migratory and intertwining relationships within the region, and reflect on shared histories and current realities with East and South Asia. SB2016 examines the challenges of the region’s contemporary conditions, and positions Southeast Asia as the vantage point from which the world can be pictured anew. The full curatorial statement can be found in Annex A.

  • Vietnam's Virtual Charm Offensive

    Vietnam's Virtual Charm Offensive

    DIPLOMAT MAGAZINE November 2020 Vietnam’s Virtual Charm Offensive Vietnam made the best of a difficult situation in carrying out its ASEAN chairmanship amid a pandemic. By Nguyen Phuong Linh and Nguyen Khac Giang When Vietnam’s Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc received the symbolic gavel from his Thai counterpart Prayut Chan-o-cha in the ASEAN chairmanship handover ceremony in November 2019 in Bangkok, he did not know what challenges his country would face just a few months later. Vietnam, despite its success in fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic, has had an unprecedentedly difficult year as the ASEAN chair. The year’s theme was “Cohesive and Responsive ASEAN,” yet the chaos of the pandemic threatens to throw the country’s hopes away. Despite Hanoi’s lobbying for a traditional form of physical ASEAN meetings to be held in Da Nang in April, the event eventually took place via video conferencing for the first time since the founding of ASEAN in 1967. The new format challenged the host country’s ability to set the agenda and process important negotiations. “ASEAN diplomacy is privately led; it is famously known for making major agreements on the golf courses, at the karaoke halls, and having drinks on sideline meetings... When you don’t have these actual in-person meetings... virtual events will dilute the ‘ASEAN way’ of doing thing and ASEAN will suffer for it,” a Bangkok-based, Southeast Asia-focused scholar noted earlier this year, expressing low expectations for Vietnam’s achievements during its ASEAN chairmanship. However, while its neighbors are still struggling with the pandemic, Hanoi has been surprisingly creative in its diplomatic actions and made the best out of the situation, not only for itself but also for the ASEAN community.
  • Exhibition Essay by Gabby Quynh Anh Miller

    Exhibition Essay by Gabby Quynh Anh Miller

    Exhibition Essay by Gabby Quynh Anh Miller Toi khoc nhung chan troi khong co nguoi bay Toi lai khoc nhung nguoi bay khong co chan troi I cry when skylines do not have flying people I cry again when flying people do not have skylines -Tran Dan (Written 1987/8, published 2007) This tiny poem paints a bleak portrait of a place with no room for the imagination, a muffled lament for a landscape purged of artists. It was written in the early years of doi moi, the set of ‘open door’ economic policies that catapulted Vietnam into becoming one of the fastest growing economies in the world. At that time, Hanoi was a city ‘in the dark’, isolated from the world outside the communist block, impoverished, with few streetlights illuminating the night. As Tran Dan (1926-1997), the author of this poem, experienced, the cultural landscape was grim. A former soldier-poet, Tran Dan was a central figure in the Nhan Van-Giai Pham movement (Humanism and Works of Beauty)1 - a “brief flourish of dissent which burst forth in 1956”2 Tran Dan was thrown into jail, sentenced to hard labor, expelled from the Artists Association3, banned from publication, publicly denounced and socially ostracized. In her book “A World Transformed: The Politics of Culture in Revolutionary Vietnam” Kim Ninh makes a convincing argument that “Tran Dan became a focal point around which a number of intellectual concerns coalesced, and the state's violent reaction to him marked the moment when simmering intellectual questions burst into the open” 4 Published twenty years after scribbled into his ‘dusty notebooks’, our title poem is one of fifty-odd “mini poems”, many of which are experimentations with sound and meaning, often attempting to create sounds that have no meaning at all.
