From the organizer:
introjective exhibition is a practice of making contact with others’ haunted selves, giving them linguistic and bodily forms to be put on public display. Thinking through the Kleinian psychoanalytic concept of “projective identification” and Vietnamese shamanistic rituals of conjuring, both of which presuppose the instability of the individual psychic container, introjective exhibition wallows in the risk of losing oneself in communing with otherness. If our ghosts demand to be seen and heard despite our conscious wishes to exorcise them, how can dance and performance create an intimate transitive space that can seduce this necessary loosening of the individual will?
Format: Artist Anh Vo performs and shares the practice of ‘introjective exhibition’ with the audience. The discussion session on the artist’s practice is moderated by curator Do Tuong Linh
Participation Fee: 100,000 VND per person. Free admission for 10 tickets for Toong members.
Limited Number of Participants: 30 people.
*All expenses will be used to support the artist’s artistic activities.
