Co-curated by Dinh Q. Lê and Zoe Butt in cooperation with San Art, Ho Chi Minh City

Showcasing nine contemporary Vietnamese voices through painting, video, photography, sculptural installation and works on paper, this exhibition melds mis-placed local memory with contemporary fact and ritual, these nine provocateurs drawing insightful comment on the lived dilemma of a country whose physical and psychological character is brilliantly, yet controversially layered in assumption and stereotype.
