Finest Curator: Linh Lê
Linh Lê
Year of birth: 1993
Field: Visual arts
About the curator: Linh Lê is a curator, writer and researcher currently based in Sài Gòn. Her work taps into the performativity of archives, space, and the body in artistic practice. In 2020, she was selected for a curator exchange between Vietnam and Sydney – a programme by 4A Center with support from the Australian Council. Some of her previous projects include Măng Ta journal and the CáRô arts education programme. She holds a BA (Honours) in Arts Management from Essex University and the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (Singapore).
At the moment, Linh is working on two long-term research projects, one deals with the practice of female Vietnamese artists; the use of a gendered body in performance and how it affects the artists, their spectators, and critics in “interpreting” their works; and the other one explores the capability of self-expression in art.
Remarkable activities/projects in 2020 – 2022: In 2020, Linh Lê participated in the project CáRô at Galerie Quynh and worked on the research essay “The Iconography of the State’s Central Patriarchal Figure in Propaganda.” From April to October 2021, she participated in the project 1936, initiated by MORUA. In 2022, Linh Lê participated in #SoloMarathon2022 No.1 with Đặng Thùy Anh as a curator.
