Art Program - Ăn Cơm Chưa? by Colin Christy


For the month of November Colin will be working at La 4uatrieme, creating pieces and two large installations in an open studio residency. His goal is to connect to a creative community through a wide variety of collaborations with local artists, creative organizations, and local villages, and to share these experiences with others. It will include workshops on different artistic techniques, from traditional - to print - to digital. It will end in
 a short exhibition of the installations, paintings, and collaborative projects that happened during the residency.


The work will be made largely out of different Vietnamese food staples and will reflect on the community that it binds. Traditional Vietnamese practices that mix with new western modes of production (pesticides, gmo's, large-scale exportation, etc.). The residency will explore how in quickly changing times, food contains its culture, and culture contains its food.
