Where The Sea Remembers is a project—comprised of an exhibition, a program series, and a website—that explores contemporary art in and about Vietnam through the practices of artists who live and work there and across its diasporas. This project marks the launch of an institutional initiative aimed at fostering exchanges and collaborations between The Mistake Room and independent peer institutions in Vietnam. The goal of this work is to create opportunities that cultivate and support an emerging generation of Vietnamese artists, writers, and curators in order to encourage the creation of scholarship that expands what we know about local and regional art histories and how we come to know it. Please join us for the opening reception on Saturday, July 13th from 6-8pm at The Mistake Room, 1811 E 20th St, Los Angeles, CA 90058.
Artists exhibiting work in the show include Truc-Anh, Ngô Đình Bảo Châu, Võ Trân Châu, The Propeller Group, Nguyễn Phương Linh, Sandrine Llouquet, Thinh Nguyen, Tuấn Mami, Trong Gia Nguyen, Tuấn Andrew Nguyễn, Nguyễn Văn Đủ, Phan Thảo Nguyên, Phan Quang, Thu Van Tran and Trương Công Tùng.
