Le Giang

biography

Le Giang earned a BA in Art Education from Vietnam Fine Art University and an MA in Fine Art at University of the Arts London. Her point of departure is the question of the role of humans in nature and social structure as well as the systematization of human memory and habit. Intrigued by an Utopia that has none of humans, her practice attempts to research and depict how nature would react to the disappearance of humans when it happens, what legacy humans would have left behind, and what life form would then take place. Giang explores various media in her practice, including coal, plaster, stone and transparent materials such as glass and plexiglass. The Landscapes’ featured at Mo Art Space is an on-going series that marks the artist’s coming back to drawing and painting. Lê Giang is also the co-founder of Six Space, an artist-run space in Hanoi. Her most recent exhibitions included: ‘Citizen Earth’ (General University, Hanoi, 2020), ‘D’eau et de Verdure’ (Institut Francais, Hanoi & Vin Gallery, HCMC, 2020), ‘Vestige of a Land’ (Art Central Hong Kong, 2019), ‘Phản niệm’ (Vin Gallery, HCMC, 2018), ‘Vestige of a Land’ (Goethe Institut Hanoi, 2017); ‘Above Under Sky’ (Manzi Art Space Hanoi, Hanoi, 2014); ‘Reincarnate’ (Conflictable Cube, Irabaki, Japan, 2013); ‘Dreaming about Landscapes’ (Mo Art Space, Hanoi, 2020).
