The Propeller Group
The Propeller Group was formed in 2006 by artists Phunam Thuc Hà (b. 1974, Vietnam) and Tuan Andrew Nguyen (b. 1976, Vietnam), who were later joined by Matt Lucero (b. 1976, USA) in 2008. Aiming to cross the boundaries of contemporary art and mainstream media, the collective is dedicated to developing original creative content, employing strategies from advertising and marketing to combine seemingly contradictory phenomena: popular culture and politics, history and future, and public and private. Based in both HCMCC, Vietnam and Los Angeles, USA their work often incorporates collaborations with other artists in order to foster a critical and questioning global practice integrated with local idiosyncrasies. They have exhibited extensively worldwide, including at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Guggenheim Museum, New York; Para Site, Hong Kong; Singapore Art Museum, and as part of the 56th Venice Biennale.
