From the organizer:
Galerie Quynh is thrilled to launch the community-art project Livinwondr initiated and co-ordinated by artist Hung Viet Tran. The gallery will host a 9-day fundraising exhibition from the 6th to the 14th of May.
Comprising a sculptural structure made up of stainless-steel (inox) tubes that can be arranged in various permutations, LIVINWONDR is an interactive project, taking on configurational transformations in direct response to public surroundings. The shape-shifting nature of LIVINWONDR is not unlike how the name itself – and thus its meaning – can be deliberated upon along multiple avenues: the states of being immersed in wonder and beauty; of living with curiosity and an open mind; of recognizing living wonders – miracles or spectacles that are alive.
Curated by Tran, the submissions are varied in expression and discipline such as fine art, design, photography, illustration, sonic arts, comics, calligraphy, etc. – ‘anything that sparks imagination’). Celebrated artist Tiffany Chung, veteran photographer Thong Van Nguyen and comic book artist But Chi are among the 17 contributors to the project thus far.
