Neither fish nor fowl
A late summer encounter,
when the fruits are ripening.
“The pitfall of to be able to understand deeply two worlds is to be neither flesh nor fish, to stay in the vagueness so as not to be labeled.”
(Linda Lê, “Étranges Étrangers”, 2010
Translated from French by Khieu Anh)
Neither Fish nor Fowl is the first group show of Phu Lang Sa Collaborative, organized at the Galerie BAQ in Paris from July 27th to August 26th, 2023. We introduced the works of young Asian and Asian descent artists: Nguyen Phuong Thao, Trần Kim Phượng, Hang Hang, Khieu Anh, Tống Khánh Hà, Ha-Yeon Joo, Maya de Vulpillières, and Kay Maruta. As art practitioners in the early stages of their careers, each artist has their own way of defining themselves and their work in connection with others, in a process of cultural adaptation.
