Dinh Q. Lê in the USA
A Tapestry of Memories: The Art of Dinh Q. Lê
Exhibition: 29 Jan-28 Feb 2009
Tufts University Art Gallery, Tisch Gallery
Medford, MA
Well-known Saigon-based artist Dinh Q. Lê is having a major exhibition in Maryland Massachusetts, USA.
Lê’s tapestries and video installations reveal a two-decade-long introspective journey in which the artist has brought his vision to bear on the dislocation and cultural displacement he experienced, first in fleeing his homeland, then with his immersion in American culture, and ultimately upon the return to his estranged and yet familiar country. Through his art, Lê has sought to negotiate the differing perspectives he holds—Vietnamese, American-Vietnamese, and American—on Vietnam, the American-Vietnam War, and his place in the two societies in which he finds both belonging and alienation.

I just want to correct your ad for Dinh Q. Le’s exhibition in USA. Tufts University is is Massachusetts, not Maryland (MA stands for Massachusetts, MD stands for Maryland.
Just so people who want to go and/or are in USA won’t be confused. I will tell my friends who live near Tufts U. and are interested in Vietnam to go see it! It sounds very interesting.
Chuc mung nam moi!
ooops – thanks for pointing that out!
