Tr?n Luong: Soaked in the Long Rain is the first comprehensive publication exploring the practice of Tr?n Luong, a key figure in Vietnamese contemporary art, and is copublished with Art Jameel, Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Western Australia, and the Art Museum of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. The publication traces the artist’s beginnings as a painter, his subsequent move toward conceptual and performance art, his foundational role in the Vietnamese contemporary art scene, and the complex role he continues to play in Vietnam and Southeast Asia more broadly. A number of commissioned texts by curators, educators, artists, and scholars unpack the myriad roles Tr?n embodies, and is constantly merging from one to the next: artist, curator, facilitator, mediator, activist, archivist, mentor. An extensive archive of his curatorial work and community-focused projects has been compiled specifically for this publication. The book is conceived by Biljana Ciric, curator of Tr?n’s multi-venue traveling solo exhibition Soaked in the Long Rain.
