Digital Event- Chisenhale Gallery: Thao Nguyen Phan, 'Becoming Alluvium' Conversation

Chisenhale Gallery is hosting a live online event for Frieze VIPs and Chisenhale Friends, Patrons and Supporters to celebrate Becoming Alluvium by Thao Nguyen Phan, currently showing at the gallery.

With a welcome from Chisenhale Gallery Director, Zoé Whitley, the event includes a conversation between Chisenhale Gallery Curator: Commissions, Ellen Greig and Thao Nguyen Phan, who will discuss Phan’s current exhibition.

Becoming Alluvium is the first solo exhibition in a UK institution by Phan and continues her ongoing research about the Mekong River which runs through Tibet, China, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Composed of two elements – a single channel film work and a series of lacquer and silk paintings – the works simultaneously explore real and imaginary worlds.

The event will be held via Zoom and the link will be provided once an RSVP has been received on a first come first served basis.
