Internationally acclaimed artist Tiffany Chung (b. 1969, Đà Nẵng, Vietnam) is known for her multimedia work that explores migration, conflict and shifting geographies in the wake of political and natural upheavals. Chung’s new exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, “Tiffany Chung: Vietnam, Past Is Prologue,” probes the legacies of the Vietnam War and its aftermath through maps, videos and paintings that highlight the voices and stories of former Vietnamese refugees.
“Everything photographs so well!” is the first impression one could get after a first round of the 60 international exhibitors of the 19th edition of SCOPE New York, held at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan. The press preview allowed for close examinations of several booths, and one thing that can be said with utter confidence is that much of the art would translate well on social media.
