Open Kitchen 002: Fusion
Installation by Felisa Nguyen, Anh Nguyen, & Huyen Tran

The Blanc, 15 E 40 Street, Floor 2, New York, NY
May 10– 30, 2025

_____


With Open Kitchen’s second exhibition “Fusion,” artists Anh Nguyen, Felisa Nguyen, and Huyen Tran jointly create an installation with existing works or their parts and variations that support each other, structurally and conceptually. The structures will be free-standing systems that only use each other’s works as foundations, “pillars,” “frames,” “walls,” and “floors,” without any exterior contacts except for resting on the gallery floor. This act calls for Asian contemporary art’s condition in the West as it sustains viability only via communal support and lacks much systematic and institutional interaction with the “surroundings.”
