Artists Talk

We invite Thao Nguyen Phan and Ngoc Nau, the two artists who will be showing their works in the exhibit, to give us a talk about their works*.

First Session: Film Screening (How I Long for October) + Artist Talk by Thao Nguyen Phan

For this event, we invite Thao Nguyen Phan, one of the participating artists for this exhibition, whose works have drawn international attention as they reconsider Vietnamese history through her unique narrative representation. In the first part, we take time to see a masterpiece of Vietnamese film, How I Long for October, which became an inspiration to the artist’s work, Mute Grain, on view at the exhibition. We hope to learn more about the work and previous achievements of the artist in the second part.
［Part 1: Film Screening］10:30~12:00　［Part 2: Talk］13:00~14:30

Second Session: Artist Talk and Film Screening of the Works of Ngoc Nau

In the second session, we welcome a conversation with Ngoc Nau, another emerging and cross-disciplinary Vietnamese artist who also participates in the exhibition. We hope to hear about her displayed work, The Silent Nights, Monday (featured as the primary image on the poster), and her previous achievements, as well as see her recent video works.
Time: 15:00~16:30

*Please note that the event will primarily proceed in Vietnamese and Japanese.
