Over the last thirty years, Vietnamese artists have come to command international recognition, even as a growing domestic market for contemporary art fosters alternative infrastructures of collection and exhibition. \u003ci\u003eSigns and Signals from Vietnam\u003c\/i\u003e brings together artists, curators, and academics to examine artistic practice and contemporary art histories in Vietnam today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving beyond familiar North-South or diasporic-national divides, the essays represent the perspectives of Vietnamese, Vietnamese diasporic, and non-Vietnamese writers of different generations, affiliations, and positionalities. Contributors trace the inventive ways artists work with language, narrative, performance, and archival practice to communicate through their art. Key themes running through the volume represent the predominant concerns of Vietnamese artists over the past three decades, including the enduring impact of socialist paradigms in contemporary art, gender, diaspora, memory, and the environment. Together, these essays demonstrate how contemporary art can convey lesser-known histories, contested narratives, and personal perspectives. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"National University of Singapore Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48905447538862,"sku":"9789813253278","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/4417\/1694\/files\/imageloader_33a52cb3-df31-4a9e-b047-727fa8f88f28.jpg?v=1786546801","url":"https:\/\/ofmooseandmindbookshop.com\/products\/signs-and-signals-from-vietnam","provider":"Of Moose and Mind Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
