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."
