Art Event “Warhead”

Sat 31 Dec 2011, 7 pm
Cinematheque

From the organizer:

On the 31^st December ProjectBlack  is presenting the third documentary WARHEAD. This features artist Nguyen Thanh Son. Born as the Chinese were invading his village he is dismayed by the cult of soldier hero that he feels obscures the true cost of these wars, that is the pain to the families. Through his paintings he wishes to re direct out attention to this and also examine his own feelings.

This also involves a journey to witness the return of his uncle, an MIA for forty years until his spirit appears to his grand aunt in a dream and tells her where his remains can be found. Through a ritualistic exhumation we feel the power of the Vietnamese family gathering in and reclaiming their ancestors.

Opening the show a performing artist Song Hy who locks on wedlock by painting over the nuptial chains.
