iii.x_Unrealized Utopia - Solo exhibition at Gallery Medium
I am very excited to share my first solo exhibition, organized by Gallery Medium in Saigon!
The exhibition's title, “iii. x_Unrealized Utopia,” takes the form of a data file and brings together artworks that can be interpreted as transmissions from unrealized futures. Trần’s artworks are based on research in international archives of the Bauhaus and the nation-building project in Vietnam since the 1960s. The exhibition includes artworks with diverse materials, such as paintings, sculptures, videos, and digital collages experimented on various printing materials.
“iii.x_Unrealised Utopia” is a collection of artworks that elides the linear march of history and modernist conceits. They lean into a technological acceleration wherein artificial intelligence is a collaborative medium of transmission from the past to the future and the future to the past so as to geopoetically recover the lost political histories and possibilities of our present.
