Artist Trong Gia Nguyen discussed the role of appropriation in his work and how he dissociates himself from materiality. We also delved into the notion of distributed ownership and possession of art, the intricate relationship between physicality and virtuality and how he sold his work on eBay.
Trong Gia Nguyen is a multi-disciplinary artist currently based in Brussels, Belgium. Having also lived in Vietnam and New York City over the last 20 years, his wide array of works examines structures of power in their myriad forms, scrutinizing the soft foundation upon which contemporary life plays out, often behind the façade of fairness, sincerity, tradition, and civility. Regularly employing humor while at other times engaging sober reflection, Trong's work elevates the condition of doubt as it reveals and disrupts the undercarriage of our most trusted spaces - domestic, cultural, political, and economical. His work includes everything from iPhone applications to installation, film, painting, sculpture, performances, and web-based projects.
