Exhibiton at Waterside Project Space
murmur

Trong Gia Nguyen is a New York based artist whose works contend with power relationships between viewer and art object. Traditionally this dynamic favored the viewer, who determines the criteria for assessing a work - how long to look at it, under what formal qualities, and so on. By manipulating the ‘looking act’ itself and inverting this gaze, Nguyen reclaims control.

Nguyen has exhibited internationally at exhibitions including Sequences 2008 (Iceland), 9th Havana Biennial (Cuba) and Performa 05 (New York) and has also curated prolifically.
