Art Labor
Art Labor is an artist collective based in Ho Chi Minh City, consisting Truong Cong Tung, Thao-Nguyen Phan and Arlette Quynh-Anh Tran who each work between visual arts and other disciplines in various public contexts and locales. They develop many-year-long journeys during which one inspiration is a seed to cultivate. The seed grows – the inspiration expands and bears into a rhizome of collaborations, projects and artworks. In each activity new collaborators and/or mentors are added as additional partners to the collective varying from filmmakers, writers, visual artists, architects to farmers, folk artists, patients, scientists, and doctors.
