WITH ARTIST VIET LE

Please join us for an evening of conversation with artist, writer and curator Viet Lé, who will discuss his current project boy bang/, a new music video trilogy about fake Asian boy bands and solo performers in various personas and costumes which examines the borders of spectacle, desire and audience. Through the creation of faux boy bands and stars, Lé questions the boundaries of community and identity.

His work has been featured in numerous anthologies. Lé has received fellowships from the Civitella Ranieri Foundation (Italy), Fulbright Foundation (Vietnam), the Center for Khmer Studies (Cambodia), and the  Fine Arts Work Center (USA). Lé obtained his MFA from the University of California, Irvine, where he has also taught Studio Art courses, and is currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Southern California. www.vietle.net
