HCMC – Open Studio of Lab 7 at San Art with artist Saras, Tran Chau and Thuy Tien

From the organizer:

Saras, Tran Chau and Thuy Tien will introduce their art projects and the process of implementation in 6 months at San Art Laboratory.

How real is a memory? Can we really preserve the remnants of an experience, whether physical or emotional? These are questions that may or may not lead to the same answer. Yet Thuy Tien pursues them with an obsessive passion.

Saras has become aware of the voices inside her head just like the psychological fractures and divides them into two opposites poles. On this project, she would like to explore parts of ourselves where those voices originated from and stayed in. Once she has managed to do that, she would then proceed to build a conversation between the two.

Tran Chau is particularly interested in costumes. They serve as an indispensable jewelry on the human body and a cover of humans and their ego. In contrast, they are also used to easily recognize and judge human values on the surface. She found out the contrast between the sumptuous royal costumes of the ancient kings and their current descendants’ casual clothings by breaking the material structure to transform it into an object carrying different shapes and meanings from the original.

Visit San Art Lab and get to know the artists and their projects!

San Art Laboratory’s session 8 is open for application until 8 August 2015.
