Artist talk with Richard Streitmatter-Tran

Tue 13 Oct 2015, 6.30 pm
Nha San Collective’s new space

From Nha San Collective:

Nha San Collective would like to introduce you to an artist talk by Saigon-based artist Richard Streitmatter-Tran.

Born in 1972 in Vietnam, Rich received his degree in the Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM) at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. His work has been exhibited widely in the U.S. Europe and Asia including the 52nd Venice Biennale, Asia Triennial 2011, Gwangju Biennale 2004. Aside from creating artwork, Rich is also experienced in teach art, having been a Teaching Assistant at Harvard University (2000-2004), visiting lecturer at the HCMC Fine Arts University in 2003, and Senior Lecturer at RMIT University Vietnam (2006-2015). In 2010, he founded DIA/PROJECTS, an experimental space for contemporary arts and research in HCMC and in 2015 co-founded Dia Projects Dong Khoi with Thanh Ha Mourgue d’Algue creating a new exhibition platform for ideas.

Coming to Hanoi this October, Rich will share with us about his artistic practice, which focuses on material practices as opposed to other immaterial forms such as performance, video/new media – something that the artist originally trained in. He will give us a presentation of his work tracing immaterial to material; and will introduce to the Hanoi audience Dia Projects as well as the exciting programmes that it offers.

Language: English with Vietnamese translation

Free entrance.

Nhà Sàn COLLECTIVE is not a museum, a gallery or an international culture institute where completed work are presented by established artists. Just like Nhà Sàn Studio before, it is a working studio to nurture where artists can create, collaborate, be given advice, critiques, and have chances to meet with international artists, curators. Works that are presented at open studio every month could be finished or not, but the process of developing idea and working to improve the quality of the art work for local artists is what Nhà Sàn COLLECTIVE focuses on.
