I will be presenting work in the exhibition and an abstract of recent research at the symposium.

Symposium on Modern and Contemporary Vietnamese Art
May 15 - 19, 2008
Held in conjunction with National Heritage Board Vietnam Festival and
Post- Đổi Mới: Vietnamese Art after 1990s (12 May - 28 Sep 2008)

"Sharing an equally important platform as the exhibition, SAM is organising a three-day symposium to explore the developments that have taken place in Vietnam. The presentations will cover the rise of modern art from the French Colonial period to the experimental art movement in present-day Vietnam. Speakers from the United States, United Kingdom, France, Australia, Vietnam and Singapore will be examining the differences in the developments that have taken place in the North and the South."

After an unusually extended (but appreciated) period in Vietnam, I'll begin traveling again for arts-related projects and exhibitions. It felt good to stay put for a while in HCMC, during which CET and I were able to reorganize and refurbish our work spaces. New shelves, tables,etc. The rest of 2008 looks like a busy year for both of us. My tentative travel plans as of today until the end of summer are below. If things work out, CET will also be traveling to Japan, Germany, Singapore, Vancouver and New York before the year's end. Fingers crossed.
