Q&A. 30 mins
Tuan Mami’s work has used performance, alongside other experiments with conceptual installation and video art, to create new dialogues exploring our social interactions and exchanges.
about the artists:
Tuan Mami (b.1981, Vietnam) creates experimental installation, video and performance works that mediate on the interactions and processes at work in society. In 2006 he graduated from Hanoi Fine Art University. In 2012 he founded MAC-Hanoi, a Mobile Art Center, and co-founded Nha San Collective Art Space in Hanoi, Vietnam in 2013, which he has been the creative manager of since. His work spans both the public and private space and often utilises site-specificity to introduce people and objects into his artistic process. He has exhibited widely across Asia, the USA and Europe.
Cam Xanh is the pseudonym of conceptual artist Tran Thanh Ha (b.1977, Vietnam). Translated as Green Orange from Vietnamese, it is the first of many playful departures from the expected that characterise her work. Her physical works are often based on texts and poetry, or developed from previous performances by the artist, and branch across multiple mediums including installation, sculpture, painting and video, often with elements only activated by audience participation. Her work can be found in the collection of the Singapore Art Museum (SAM), and she was a speaker for the ASIA YOUNG 36 exhibition at the Jeonbuk Museum of Art in Seoul, Korea in 2016. She founded independent art space MoT+++ in 2015 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, which she continues to collaboratively run with a small team and other members of the MoT+++ artist collective. In 2018 she co-founded the Nguyen Art Foundation and A. Farm, an international art residency.
performance plus 2019 is supported by Asia-Europe Foundation – ASEF Mobility First!, Norwegian Crafts and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in partnership with A. Farm.
