Traveling with guerrilla units in the 1960s–70s to document the front line of the Vietnamese resistance in the Cà Mau region, Võ An Khánh (1936–2023, Vietnam) was tasked with upholding the vision of collective socialist struggle, yet his images often dwell on unexpected moments of stillness, distinctly blurring the boundaries between art and militancy, documentary and spectacle.
In Dirty & Disorderly: Contemporary Artists on Disgust, Anna Ting Möller, New Red Order, and Nguyễn Duy Mạnh use the aesthetics of disgust to understand the social construction of putrid and squalid things. The exhibition is curated by Riley Yuen.
The duo exhibition by Huỳnh Công Nhớ and Pecut Sumantri, presented in collaboration with RUCI Arts Space (Jakarta), explores faith, belief, and the human condition through scenes of everyday life. Moving between stark realism and dreamlike abstraction, the exhibition brings together painting and cinematic sensibilities to reveal moments where the ordinary slips into quiet unreality. Rooted in Southeast Asian contemporary art, the works reflect on living, believing, and persisting in an age marked by uncertainty and precarity.
