Thao Nguyen Phan
Tate St Ives will stage Thao Nguyen Phan’s most extensive UK exhibition to date.
This winter, Tate St Ives will orchestrate Thao Nguyen Phan’s most comprehensive UK show to date.
Phan’s mesmerising work intertwines mythology and folklore with urgent issues around industrialisation, food security, and the environment. The threat posed by the destruction and excessive consumption of Earth’s resources is a recurring theme across her practice. Her recent projects have expanded on ‘the beauty and suffering’ of the Mekong River, which runs through Tibet, China, Burma, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia before meeting the sea on the coast of Vietnam.
This exhibition will bring together a selection of Phan’s videos, paintings, and sculptures from the past five years, alongside new work exhibited for the first time.
OPENING HOURS:
Tue – Sun 10am – 4:20pm
