the installation of ‘It seems to be’, a video work by Dao Tung at Hoàng Thị- phân đà Mùa Hè Tan Nát Coffee Shop marks MoT+++’s first +1 museum by any other name.

up the banyan, the ant climbs
alas, dead-end, futile crawl
up the peach tree, the ant creeps
broken branches, to-and-fro
(artist’s statement)

MoT+++’s +1 museum by any other name is a project of multiples. it exhibits single works in separate locations across the globe, for a minimum of one year. a durational experience, +1 museum by any other name examines the relationship between work, audience and environment and uses the extended period of time to challenge the experience of each component.
