Description
Porcelain Medals and Jackfruit Grenades The American War in Vietnam examined through the art of Bui Cong Khanh, at 10 Chancery Lane, Hong Kong, is a new commission curated by Southeast Asian art specialist Iola Lenzi. The show is presented as an integrative domestic room installation that includes monumental and exquisite works in porcelain, produced in the ancient North Vietnam imperial kilns of Bat Trang, and intricately carved jackfruit, a precious timber indigenous to Vietnam. Ambitiously-scaled painted porcelain vases, inventive porcelain combat medals, elegantly-carved jackfruit tables, chairs and traditional screens, and a space-commanding Ancestor Altar, are the components of this immersive exhibition.
