HCMC: SUPER STRUCTURES
albb is pleased to present its major project for 2008: SUPER STRUCTURES, which will take place from late August, through to November, 2008.
Collaborative projects hit the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, with artists & designers from Finland, Norway, Sweden & Denmark. Arriving into Vietnam’s largest, most intense hub of social and urban change, they have two short weeks to respond to the immediacy of being here.
Super Structures takes the physical grid, the social and economic systems of the city as the starting point. Art is live and responsive, even spontaneous, as localities are scouted, surveyed, negotiated. What are the potentialities of this site & system? What could be infiltrated, grafted or discreetly super-imposed? Will art function as an alien body, an imposition, an irrelevance or a contribution?
Collaboration is an important feature of this laboratory. Participating artists are either collaborative units or will create temporary collaborative structures locally.
This project is curated by Sue Hajdu and Pontus Kyander.
