Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC), in collaboration with Goethe-Institut Hanoi present a
traveling project, Concept Context
Contestation: art and the collective in Southeast Asia,
Hanoi version. The original, premiered at BACC Bangkok in December 2013,
had the aim of
showing connections between Southeast Asian art’s social ideologies and its expressive
languages revealing artists’
critical views of society and their political narrations. In 2015,
artists, curators and host-country artists and cultural players will
collaboratively expand and
graft additional meanings onto the original CCC to create Concept Context Contestation: art
and the
collective in Southeast Asia, Hanoi version. This CCC Hanoi Re-Focus initiates a
Hanoi-based dialogue of Southeast Asian artistic
languages seen through a Hanoi lens via
collaborative programs and projects that involve 20 artists* from 7 countries selected from
the original exhibition. These artists present original CCC works as well as entirely new works
and projects covering a wide range of
media including installation, photography, video, and
drawing.
