Talks are free to attend but RSVP is essential
Anh-Phuong Nguyen (b. 1999, Vietnam) lives in London and works in the UK and Vietnam. Nguyen's multi-disciplinary practice is characterised by the meticulous assembly of landscapes through which she interrogates the prevailing clichés associated with tourism, travel and hospitality. In her exploration, she sheds light on the intricate narratives of desire undergirding souvenir objects and the construction of fantasy worlds for foreign consumption.
Hoa Dung Clerget (b. 1985, France) lives and works in London. She creates installations and objects that delve into the labour of immigrant women, the Nail Art subculture, and the micro-societies found in nail salons. Her work explores the popular and kitschy aesthetic of Nail Art and oriental objects, revealing all the ambiguity present in the gaze, taste, and notion of exoticisation.
Koa Pham lives and works in London. Pham prominently investigates the relationship between objects, humans and spaces, with an emphasis on the potential agency that objects have on humans and how they influence their decision- making. He is the founder of Ilco and also works as a production designer.
