10 Chancery Lane Gallery is pleased to present FortressTemple, an exhibition of recent work by Vietnamese artist Bui Cong Khanh, curated by Iola Lenzi, from September 17 - October 10. Saigon-based multi-media artist Bui Cong Khanh (b.1972) examines Vietnamese society and culture from both insider and outsider perspectives. Images from street and traditional culture, emblems and texts of the state, and symbols of religion, are the building blocks of Khanh’s visual repertoire. Medium is selected according to its ability to impart additional meaning and elicit sensual response: blue and white porcelain vessels, textile, performance, video, participative installation, sound, drawing, and painting are combined to articulate his ideas.
