Artist Talk 3: Tran Luong
Sun 14 Mar, 3 – 5 pm
The Bui Gallery
Tran Luong was one the pioneers of new art in Vietnam through his role with the notorious Gang of Five in the 1990s. He is one of Vietnam’s most exciting artists and one of the few stepping forward to motivate and organize young contemporary artists. His support and dedication for new media art has increasingly led him to curate, besides continuing to work as an artist.
In 1998 he was co-founder of Nha San Duc, Hanoi’s long standing and most important independent art space, and founder of the Hanoi Contemporary Art Centre in 2000, where he sat as director for two years. This short stop with the national structure came to an end in 2003, with Tran leaving his post in disgust over governmental corruption. His departure gave room for more freelance curating.

Hello:
I am involved with a team here in Singapore at Nanyang Technological University to curate an exhibition of new media art in South East Asia for the International Communication Association Conference here in late June. Our exhibition is called OPEN SPACE/SINGAPORE/SOUTHEAST ASIA.
We are interested in finding help from your organization in two areas: one, we would like to make contact with a Vietnamese artist who works in computer/sound/new media as a possible guest to bring in; and two, we are looking for new media works from Vietnam that live online for our online exhibition.
Does anyone involved with the Hanoi grapevine have any contacts or suggestions?
Thanks so much,
Professor Patricia R. Zimmermann
