Kiang Malingue Now Represents Thảo Nguyễn Phan

Kiang Malingue, a gallery with spaces in Hong Kong and Shanghai, has announced its representation of Vietnamese artist Thảo Nguyễn Phan. Born in 1987 in Ho Chi Minh City, where she continues to live and work, Phan is known for her multidisciplinary practice that weaves together painting, video, sculpture, and sound. Her installations and environments are described as both intimate and expansive, creating dialogues between disparate media. Phan's work draws connections across literature, poetry, art movements, and folklore, treating history as a confluence of events, ideologies, memories, and mythologies. Her pieces function as relays, linking past, present, and future, and materializing pathways between physical and psychic realms. The gallery's announcement highlights Phan's advocacy for an ecology that emerges from these interconnections. This representation marks a significant step for the artist, who has gained international recognition for her poetic and layered approach.
