Across Land, Across Water

Băng Qua Nước: Across Land, Across Water

 

HILLES GALLERY,  1ST FLOOR

October 21-January 28, 2023

Opening Reception:  October 26, 2022 5:30-7:30 pm

Closing Programming and Ceremonies January 28, 2023 11:30 am-4 pm

Part of Artspace’s Open Source Art Festival, CAW is proud to host a special exhibition of an Artspace-selected curator and her exhibition. This exhbition was extended to run through January 29, 2023.

On the first floor of the Hilles Gallery, Băng Qua Nước: Across Land, Across Water, curated by Ivy Vuong (Yale ‘23) Connecticut-based Vietnamese artists Thuan Vu, Antonius-Tín Bui, Quyên Trương, and Thu Tran explores how home(s) exist, twist, and meld across land and water for Vietnamese peoples. The word nước in Vietnamese can mean homeland, nation, or water. Water gave passage to loss and new lives for thousands of Vietnamese ‘boat people’ escaping Vietnam post-1975 in the wake of the fall of Saigon. This displacement fraught with grief yet teeming with strength and resilience, is felt in this exhibition through paintings, cyanotypes, video, and soft sculpture divided into three sections: 1) Nơi Đây, Nơi Đó: Here  nor/and There, 2) Cùng Nhau/Together, and 3) Sự Mất và Sự Trả Lại: Loss and Return/Redemption.
