Artist Registry


The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK

Through sculpture, my practice explores how networks of ordinary objects extend beyond themselves and reflect Vietnam’s larger socio-economic textures and conditions of contemporary Vietnam. I source my materials and objects from different economies and ecologies—infrastructural, automotive, electric, and discarded. They emerge and are conditioned by the city’s political and material environment. I incorporate, animate and alter found and ready-made objects through addition, subtraction, and calibration to maintain the integrity of the various economies and industries they come from. 


The methodologies and material content employed within my practice are intertwined, insisting on resourcefulness and a make-shift ethos indebted to the city’s polyrhythmic and sedimented environment. My practice follows the traffic of objects, different forms of labor and agency, and the terrains where these categories are constantly being negotiated and improvised.
