Dang Thuy Anh Vietnam, b. 1996
Đặng Thùy Anh graduated from the Vietnam University of Fine Art in 2019, majoring in Graphic Design. Since 2017, Thuỳ Anh has engaged more frequently with Nhà Sàn Collective to explore more experimental and conceptual approaches to her practice through various performance art events and different mediums such as installation, sculpture, painting, photography, and video. Her interest revolves around the connection and disconnection between human and nature; stereotypes and social prejudice towards the conceptualisation of gender; movements between physical and non-physical spaces, between unconsciousness, dream and memory. Thuỳ Anh often uses living organisms, her own body and personal archives as materials in her art. In 2021 in Ho Chi Minh City, with her artist friends, she co-founded Te Rẹt, an independent artist collective focusing on site specific interventions through an open-ended process of ideation and collaboration. Solo exhibitions: Silent Intimacy (The Factory Contemporary Arts Center, HCMC, 2019); Chot Mong Tan (Á Space, Hanoi, 2022). Selected exhibitions and performance art festivals: Tái Nạm - Performance (Mơ Art Space, 2022); Mini Performance Art Festival Morning - Noon - Afternoon - Evening (Á Space, Hanoi, 2022); Running on the golden road (Á Space, Hanoi, 2021); Month of Art Practice (Heritage Space, Hanoi, 2018); Open Studio I, II & III (Á Space, Hanoi, 2018); Emerging Artists 6 (Nhà Sàn Collective, Hanoi, 2018); NIPAF Festival/ IN:ACT (Nhà Sàn Collective, Hanoi, 2017, 2019, 2022); Mot Plus Performance Festival (MoT Plus, Ho Chi Minh, 2019); Wu Wei Performance (Coda Culture, Singapore, 2020).
