Stand N01, Pavilion NOW ON
At the 9th edition of ASIA NOW Paris, BAO curated Tropical Hallucinations | part II at Galerie BAQ (booth N01), features artists Nguyễn Thị Châu-Giang (Vietnam), Imhathai Suwatthanasilp (Thailand) and Richie Nath (Myanmar), Trọng Gia Nguyễn (the US) and Đỗ Tuấn Anh (Germany).
Tropical Hallucinations is a two-part exhibition presented in two different locations, much like islands in an archipelago – the main geo-culture of South-East Asia – geographically separate but still closely related. Using the cliché of tropical climates, often misused in many texts about the East from the perspective of Western travelers, the exhibition lifts the veil of exoticism to allow viewers to perceive the ongoing reality from the perspective of artists living and working there.
Parallelly with the display in Asia NOW, Part I of the exhibition is on view at Galerie BAQ, 15 rue Beautreillis, Paris 4ème until 28 October 2023.
Artists in Part I: Imhathai Suwatthanasilp (Thailand), Kamin Lertchaiprasert (Thailand), M.Irfan (Indonesia), Tôn-Thất Minh-Nhật (Vietnam), Paul Kadarisman (Indonesia), Phan Thảo-Nguyên (Vietnam)
