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 Đông Dương Lãng 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 has presented solo exhibitions such as Leisure at Vin Gallery, HCMC, 2024 and Land of Leisure at Manzi Art Space, Hanoi, 2019, both of which extended from his long-term research project Đông Dương Lãng Du. His other solo presentations include All Animals Are Equal #2 at A. Farm Residency, HCMC, and Manzi Art Space, Hanoi, 2020, and Sac – Sat at Sao La, HCMC, 2015. His group exhibitions and program participations span Vietnam, the UK, the USA, France, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand including the Korat Biennale for Public Art, Korat, Thailand, 2019; Map 2018 | Visible & Invisible, Heritage Space, Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2018; Foliage II, Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA), Hanoi, Vietnam, 2018; Failed Not, Wedeman Gallery, Newton, USA, 2017; Bất – Phân Thân, Nha San Collective, Hanoi, Vietnam, 2015; Artist Fair Taiwan, Taipei, Taiwan, 2015; Body Bouquet, Welch Gallery, Atlanta, USA, 2015; Mind, Flesh, Matter, Sàn Art, HCMC, Vietnam, 2014; Green People and the City, Charlie Duttion Gallery, London, UK, 2013; and Piece of Life, Institut Français, Hue, Vietnam, 2010.
