Nguyễn Phương Linh (b. 1985) and Trương Quế Chi (b. 1987) are longtime friends and colleagues. Phương Linh’s practice contemplates form and time. Allusions to bodily movements in recent works convey her long-standing fascination with the body, its durability, and its resilience. As abstract renderings of social, historical, and autobiographical events and structures, Quế Chi’s works delve into the spectacle of the everyday, its contrasting feelings, and its enigma.
Since 2021, the duo has undertaken collaborative projects as echoes of the synchronous rhythms of their lives that mirror one another. Their works, in juxtaposition, converse and conjure up a visceral sense of weight, height, and ephemerality. Among their shared interests are shadows of intergenerational loss and the corporeality associated with the female body in various aspects and contexts. Their works were presented at the Busan Biennale 2024 and the Asian Art Biennale 2024. Phương Linh and Quế Chi have been active as curatorial board members of Nhà Sàn Collective, an artist-run initiative in Hanoi, Vietnam since 2013.
