Education:

Graduated from Hue University of Fine Arts, in 2000

Resume: Le Brothers: (Le Ngoc Thanh and Le Duc Hai) are identical twin brothers who live and work in Hue, Vietnam, a place that serves as inspiration for much of their work. Their art practices include painting, installation, performance art, film and video. They have performed and exhibited their work in Vietnam and internationally, including Singapore Biennale 2013 and most recently “Secret Archipelago”- Singapore En France Le Festival at Palais de Tokyo, Paris.

Their unique approach to history, identity and the interpretation of the past in the present produces works that accelerate our understanding of unforgettable events which are presented as refined and dignified accounts that invite the viewer’s reflection, realization and a deeper respect for culture and custom. Their practice explores an aesthetic to examine, dissect and question the post-war consciousness of North and South Vietnam.

Le Brothers are the founders of the New Space Arts Foundation which opened in 2008. It is an Art Residency program for international artists to experience Vietnam and to create art. The foundation is the first artist in residency in Vietnam and it is fully funded by Le Brothers from the sales of their art.

Pitchaya Ngamcharoen, Chiang Mai/Thailand

https://pitchayaism.wordpress.com

Pitchaya Ngamcharoen 1989, is a Thai artist based in Chiang Mai and Bangkok. As an animal spirit, Pitchaya has always been drawn to her own species — non-human. Her artistic process usually involves animals and human participants to create a form of transparent overlap which is then transformed into an art event or object. The outcomes are often shown in interactive installation, sculpture and online sites.

Her last experimental project, “Calling Lost Brothers”, is a project, which aims to visualize an animal as an unnoticed and unperceived territory. Conversations between the artist and other species are easily made when we share one thing in common — energy resources.

Pitchaya is interested in the overlapping layers of human living space and that of animals. In the city, a small number of people realize or care about animate creatures living underneath or above us unless they bother them. In this project, sugar is used to track ants which live in the same building with the artist. The ants’ trails are marked and preserved. The audience is presented with a map showing these ants’ trails and invited to explore the building through the ants’ eyes.
