5th Art Sonje Workshop: The Rupture and the Rapture
Art Sonje is pleased to announce Richard Streitmatter-Tran as the speaker for the 5th Art Sonje Workshop and Screening taking place April 26and 27, 2011. For the first session, Streitmatter-Tran, an artist, curator and founder of DIA/PROJECTS – an independent studio and contemporary art space in Ho Chi Minh City, will focus on the curatorial process of The Mekong, an exhibition platform presented at the Asia Pacific Triennial. With this session he will address issues such as national representation and how art practices can be defined regionally, as in the concept of a Mekong Region or Asia Region. The second day will centre on the notion of dualities (action/reaction, polarities/divisions) and its presence in culture, history, arts and sciences. This session will also serve as a reflection on the first year of DIA/PROJECTS and the types of collaborations/pairings developed there.
