500 Capp Street Foundation: Shifting Possessions Salon Series

Straddling artistic mediums and mediumship, these three artists transmute physical and socio-political landscapes, mass media and the mundane. Afrofuturism, Asian indigenous shamanism, and European avant-garde frameworks shift as these artists ask, What does possession mean? There is no death nor dyads: displaced, replaced; ready to wear and readymade. Nhung Đinh is an independent artist, curator, and filmmaker working with queer communities in several countries. Corey Picket’s practice examines the relationships of fear, race, and social systems, which are informed by his upbringing in the Golden Isles of Georgia. Nhật Minh ‘s practice encompasses collaboration and distillation of his connections in Paris, Biên Hoà and in between. Together, their interdisciplinary practice of intimacies intimate between the body and the body politic, the only way out is in. Art talk moderated by Việt Lê as part of 500 Capp Street’s salon series, “Shifting Possessions.”

This “Shifting Possessions” event is a public program of trầnsfiguration, an exhibition curated by Việt Lê at / (Slash).
