Art Labor is an artist collective founded in 2012, composed of artists Thảo Nguyên Phan, Trương Công Tùng, and Arlette Quỳnh-Anh Trần. They are based in Ho Chi Minh City and work between urban and rural areas, especially the Central Highlands of Vietnam. They do not produce a single artwork but develop a many-years-long journey, during which one inspiration is a seed to cultivate. The seed grows — the inspiration expands and bears into a rhizome of projects and artworks. Their practice addresses various socio-political issues in Vietnamese society, from environmental degradation to indigenous rights and post-colonial narratives through relational installations, moving images, and social interventions. Their projects have been showcased at Okayama Art Summit; CCA-NTU Singapore; CCA Warsaw; Dhaka Art Summit; Times Museum Guangdong; Centre Pompidou, Paris; and Carnegie International.
