As part of the MAP 2020 with the theme B L U E project, MAP Talk 2 is a series of presentation and discussion about the process of practicing art by two artists Lem TragNguyen, Vietnamese artists based in Stuttgart (Germany) and Phan Anh from Ho Chi Minh Ho Chi Minh city (Vietnam). The conversation is a self-interrogating opportunity for each attendant when reveal a scope of vision to look at the inner life of individual artists. Each one is seen as a flat water surface in form, still in state, with the eternal blue color blurring the intense undercurrent or hiding many layers of nuance, conflict and energy.

Lem TragNguyen is a young artist born in Germany. She grows up, lives and works to and from between Germany and Vietnam. Her practices often delve into the hidden inner state of an individual or an event. As an artist who oftentimes uses emotions as a starting point, on the topic of MAP 2020 “BLUE” she presents a survey consisting of various possibilities in temporary states of mind. (note: the possibilities are in a temporary state) An unfinished emotion… Additionally, in this talk, Lem also shares her view on forms of art practice.

Phan Anh, a Sai Gon based multi-disciplinary artist with an art background education in both Vietnam and the Netherlands, has worked as a curator at Ga 0 (HCM city). Phan Anh’s art practice predominately focuses on observing the operation of the mind, memory, conflicts or the psychological movement of his own and his relatives. From which, the artist reflects and transforms into physical structure in spaces and installations, reconstructing a body of art into means of communication and archive. Phan Anh will also present more about his work in the BLUE-Project by using time to explore psycho-physiological moments through different times and utilizing surroundings to create the unpredictable.
