Conference - Screening : Jun Nguyen - Hatsushiba
ASIA NOW x Maison de la culture du Japon à Paris
x Musée Cernuschi - musée des arts de l'Asie de la Ville de Paris
On 27 September 2019, the Maison de la Culture du Japon in Paris (MCJP) hosted - collaboration with the Cernuschi Museum, the Friends of the Cernuschi Museum and ASIA NOW - a conference-screening on the artist Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba, an important figure in Japanese video art.
Born in 1968, Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba is an internationally renowned Vietnamese-Japanese artist. He has benefited from solo and group exhibitions in numerous museums around the world, such as the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo and the Pompidou Center in Paris, as well as at the Venice Biennale in 2003 and 2005. His work lies halfway between video and performance and questions the scars left by history in its two countries of origin as well as in the minds of its compatriots.
During this evening, two videos of the artist shot in Japan and relating to the Vietnam War were screened, followed by a discussion with Mael Bellec, chief curator at the Cernuschi Museum, where one of the two films was already shown last year as part of the "Cernuschi Art Video" program.
