Le Phi Long
Le Phi Long (b. 1988, Vietnam) graduated from the Hue University of Fine Arts in 2012 with a major in Interior Design. His practice includes paintings, site-specific installation and conceptual objects, often based on his study of the historical and geographical origins of humans, and the effects of cultural shifts and collective pressure on the formation of a generation. Since 2016, Long has been focusing on the Dong Duong Lang Du project, examining French Indochina archives (from late 19th to the early 20th century) to dive deeper into the issue of generation transmission in Vietnam.
Le Phi Long’s solo exhibitions include the Leisure, Vin Gallery, HCMC, 2024 and Land of Leisure, Manzi Art Space, Hanoi, 2019. Both exhibitions included works that are extensions of the Dong Duong Lang Du project that began in 2016. Le Phi Long has also held solo exhibitions All Animals Are Equal #2 at A. Farm Residency, HCMC, 2020 and Manzi Art Space, Hanoi, 2020; and Sac – Sat, Sao La, HCMC, 2015.
