Nguyen Art Foundation is proud to support White Noise: Three parables + 1, written by Alfonse Chiu and with illustration by Linh Meow. This publication was produced in response to White Noise, a group exhibition curated by Van Do.

In the words of curator Van Do:  
 
“In the realm of sound, reverberation refers to the lingering persistence of a sound after its source has ceased. My process of realizing the exhibition White Noise mirrors the experience of many reverberations: I generated a sound and heard its echoes reach back. Each reverb came through in a distinct form, layering the original source with additional nuances and broadening its intended scope.  
 
“In this special edition of White Noise: Three parables + 1, written by Alfonse Chiu and illustrated by Linh Meow, the reverbs have come full circle. When I initially proposed White Noise to Nguyen Art Foundation, it was envisioned as a project centered around fable writing, potentially including a children’s book dedicated to the students of the EMASI schools as one of its outputs… I invited [Alfonse] to write a response to White Noise in a format of their choice, a proposal they happily accepted, despite not having the opportunity to see the exhibition in person.  
 
“As you might have guessed with the publication you are reading now, what I didn’t expect has happened: Alfonse returned with an anthology of fables, interweaving their wild creativity with a meticulous examination of the underlying elements and concepts that drive the exhibition.”
