New Pictures: The Propeller Group, Reincarnations

Interview with Tuan Andrew Nguyen. This exhibition shows The Living Need Light, The Dead Music (2014), a film by The Propeller Group, a Ho Chi Minh City–based artist collective. The film is accompanied by an installation of objects selected by the collective from Mia’s Asian, African, Classical, and Native American collections, as well as new objects recently created by the collective. The exhibition invokes connections between cultures and their spiritual relics and rituals, centering on the relationship between the living and the dead, and the spaces created by the living to honor the dead.
