Finest Project Nominees: “Illuminated Curiosities”
PHỔ HIẾU KỲ
About project: “Illuminated Curiosities” is a group exhibition organised by Nguyễn Art Foundation (NAF) and Lân Tinh Foundation with the participation of 26 artists and 46 art works within and beyond the framework of the Nguyễn Art Foundation’s collection. “Illuminated Curiosities” thus serves as a response to, a critique on, and an expansion of, the age-old concept of “cabinet of curiosities”, borrowing the perspectives of today’s artist-scientists, as they experiment with limits in terms of thematics, materials, and medium to pursue personal and societal curiosities.
The exhibition takes place simultaneously at the campus of two schools EMASI Nam Long and EMASI Van Phuc (HCMC) for six months: from May to December 2022. In parallel with the exhibition were curated tours, workshops and ancillary programmes to the display that were held in the exhibition space or took place online. The guest curator for “Illuminated Curiosities” is art researcher Ace Lê with the assistance of Dương Mạnh Hùng & Tâm Nguyễn.
