Exhibition: 21 Feb – 27 Apr 2014
Carré d’Art, Nimes, France
From the organizer:
Disrupted Choreographies’ weaves eight contemporary voices from Vietnam who propose alternate narratives between colonial histories, collective behavior, systems of class and the crumbling of ideological thought. This exhibition challenges the relationship between Vietnam and the ‘global’ stage, illustrating an artistic community critical of the historical consciousness that often stands in for its name (ie. the guilt of war; the tourist getaway; the nostalgic colonial).
Artists: Lena Bui; Tiffany Chung; Dinh Q Le; Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba; Nguyen Huy An; Nguyen Thai Tuan; Nguyen Trinh Thi and ‘The Propeller Group’
‘Disrupted Choreographies’ is co-curated by Zoe Butt (Executive Director and Curator, San Art, Ho Chi Minh City) and Jean-Marc Prevost (Director, Carré d’Art, Nimes).
Event organized in the France-Vietnam Year, Nam Viet Nam Phap 2013-2014.
