Join us tomorrow evening for the opening of Traces of the Times!
From 6:30–8:30 PM, visitors are warmly invited to experience the exhibition, meet artist Chau Nguyen, and enjoy a chance to view the works while engaging in conversation with the artist. We look forward to seeing you 🥂

Across “Traces of the Times”, Chau Nguyen draws upon visual traditions that have long shaped cultural and spiritual life across Vietnam and Asia. Buddhist iconography, Đạo Mẫu, and architectural motifs become recurring elements within a painterly language that moves between historical reference and contemporary inquiry.
Rooted in research yet deeply attentive to image-making, Chau’s works reconsider how ideas of identity, gender, and cultural memory are embedded within visual culture. Rich in symbolism and material nuance, the paintings invite sustained looking, allowing relationships between image, surface, and meaning to unfold gradually.

Some histories are carried through objects as much as they are through words.

In “Traces of the Times”, familiar objects return in unexpected forms. Richly textured surfaces sit alongside digitally transformed forms, bringing familiar images into view in fresh ways. Through these shifts in material and form, Chau Nguyen invites viewers to look more closely at what lies beneath the surface.

Chau Nguyen’s works draw viewers in through subtle shifts in perception, encouraging a closer look at what lies beneath the surface.

We look forward to welcoming you to the exhibition.

Only 10 days left to experience “after walking, a map” by Vu Kim Thu.

As the exhibition comes to a close, this is a last chance to spend time with the works — moving through a quiet space where here drawing becomes a trace of movement, unfolding through memory and perception with your presence.

If you’ve been meaning to come by, now is the time 💙

Executed in calligraphy ink on washi paper, this work reflects Vu Kim Thu’s ongoing exploration of paper as both material and space. Through years of experimentation with Chinese xuan, the artist has developed a practice that embraces spontaneity, transformation, and imagined landscapes, allowing each mark to respond to the unique qualities of the surface.

Here, lines do more than describe form. They unfold across the paper as traces of movement and perception, shaping an environment that exists between memory and imagination. As throughout Thu’s practice, the drawing extends beyond representation, inviting viewers to experience space as something fluid, shifting, and continuously reconfigured.

Thu Kim Vu is a Hanoi-based artist whose practice moves between drawing, paper, installation, and spatial intervention. She received her BFA from Hanoi University of Fine Arts and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Working primarily with line, paper, and temporary architectural spaces, Vu creates immersive environments where drawing becomes both movement and meditation. Through years of international residencies across the United States, Korea, Germany, Italy, Spain, South Africa, and Japan, her practice has continuously evolved through encounters with material, space, and cultural memory.

Her experimentation with Korean Hanji and Japanese Washi paper has led to large-scale installations, paper sculptures, and light-based works that explore spontaneity, transformation, and imagined landscapes. Across her practice, lines extend beyond the surface — reshaping space, atmosphere, and the viewer’s physical experience within it.
