3 August – 2 September 2023

In August, Michael Reid Sydney will exhibit Vomit Girl Stories by Mai Nguyễn-Long, an artist commanding local and international attention in the field of contemporary ceramics.

Nguyễn-Long’s ongoing Vomit Girl series is the subject of her recently acquired PhD and addresses notes of belonging in the aftermath of social and political upheaval. Nguyễn-Long’s army of Vomit Girl sculptures take the collective form of Vigit: Goddess of Infected Tongues, for all those who have lost their mother tongue.

In 2022, Mai Nguyễn-Long presented her Vomit Girl series at the 2022 Berlin Biennale: Still Present! (curated by Kader Attia) and continues to excel in cultural debates communicated through sculpture and clay.

Works in this exhibition are now available to preview at Michael Reid Sydney by appointment. To arrange a viewing please be in touch with danielsoma@michaelreid.com.au

Join two significant artists whose work has been impacted by their Asian heritage. William Yang (Claiming Heritage) and Mai Nguyen-Long (Vomit Girl) will each speak briefly about their work in the show and be available for questions.

WILLIAM YANG: Noted photographer William Yang has exhibited extensively in Australia and overseas. Born in North Queensland in 1943, in 1977 his first solo exhibition, Sydneyphiles, caused a sensation because of its frank depiction of the Sydney gay party scene. In the mid-eighties, Yang began to explore his Chinese heritage, which had been lost to him by his complete assimilation into the Australian way of life. His photographic themes expanded to include landscapes and the Chinese in Australia as well as his visits to China. In 1989, Yang began to perform monologues with slide projections. He has exhibited extensively across Australia, Asia, Europe and North America, and won numerous awards and accolades. Major exhibitions of his work include The China Project (2009) at QAGOMA in Brisbane, and a significant survey exhibition William Yang: Seeing and Being Seen was held in 2021, also at QAGOMA in Brisbane.

MAI NGUYỄN-LONG: Born in Tasmania to a Vietnamese father and an Australian mother, Mai Nguyễn-Long grew up in Papua New Guinea and the Philippines; as an adult she lived in Australia, China, and Vietnam. This trajectory of experiences during times of social and political upheaval continue to shape Mai’s sense of belonging. Her interest in cultural heritage informed her early academic commitments including Asian Studies, Art History, and Museum Studies. Since 1996 Mai has exhibited across a range of mediums including painting, drawing, media, mixed media sculptures and installation. It was a residency in the Hanoi ceramics village of Bat Trang that introduced Mai to clay. She is now undertaking a PhD program with her thesis titled Vomit Girl Beyond Diasporic Trauma: Interconnecting Contemporary Art and Folkloric Practices in Vietnam. In 2022 Mai’s Vomit Girl (Berlin Cluster) and a newly commissioned Specimen (Permeate) were exhibited at the 12th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art. She lives and works in Dharawal country, Bulli.

ARTIST PROFILE article If You Could Not Say by Đỗ Tường Linh

www.artistprofile.com.au

Article by Đỗ Tường Linh titled If You Could Not Say, pages 112-117 Artist Profile Issue 59.

Text Excerpt from Artist Profile social media feed:

“For Nguyễn-Long, ‘the recurring vomit motif came from a sense of being erased: having no identity, language, or voice to speak with. There is overwhelming sadness and confusion about how to bridge the dense chasm of exclusionary narratives, misunderstandings, discrimination, rejection, and shame.’ Regardless of this violent and traumatic process, Nguyễn-Long has never stopped finding ways to reconnect with Vietnam and (re)study language . . .”

In our new issue, Đỗ Tường Linh shares an essay on Mai Nguyễn-Long, as she prepares to exhibit at the 12th Berlin Biennale this month. Saskia Wilson’s exclusive portraits of Nguyễn-Long in her studio accompany the essay, which explores the artist’s new and historical works, the significance of clay as a “grounding” material, and the subtle humour of the “Vomit Girl” series.

7 Standout Works at the 2022 Berlin Biennale, From ‘Vomit Girl’ Sculptures to Videos Reflecting on the Vietnamese Diaspora

By Emily Watlington, Associate Editor, Art in America, 13 June 2022

Text Excerpt:

“On the top floor at KW, a cluster of ceramic sculptures depicts different versions of Vomit Girl—a character developed by the Australia-based artist Mai Nguyễn-Long. Each of the feminine figures, with shapes and motifs inspired by traditional Vietnamese architecture, are regurgitating, and little coils and balls suggesting vomit are placed playfully about the plinth. For the artist, the character is a way to grapple with the trauma of the Vietnam War. She says that her vomit motif came from “a sense of being erased: having no identity, language, or voice to speak with.” The series stands out from other works in the show by focusing on the emotional aspects of war and imperalism in a playful yet still incisive manner—elsewhere, didacticism and fact-oriented approaches dominate.”

“Also of note are Mai Nguyễn-Long’s delightful Vomit Girl (Berlin Cluster) (2022), clay sculptures inspired by Vietnamese Dinh architecture, and her unnerving installation of doll parts and plants in jars that recall specimens of Agent Orange-affected organs and foetuses (Specimen, 2014).“

Text Excerpt:

“Specimen (2014) by Mai Nguyen-Long comprises a shelf filled with laboratory glassware containing doll parts and replicas of tissue samples and mutated organs. A visceral illustration of the consequences of the United States’ use of chemical weapons (Agent Orange) during the Vietnam War, but in the context of the exhibition it can be linked more generally to weapons that strike arbitrarily and inflict damage over generations.”

Australian Artist Mai Nguyen-Long shines at 2022 Berlin Biennale

Heath | 24-Jun-2022

From Bulli to Berlin, Australian artist Mai Nguyen-Long takes her intriguing contemporary work to the international art stage.

Text Excerpt:

“Navigating life and the art world as an Australian/Vietnamese woman, Mai’s narrative explores layered complexities of identity, cultural dis/connection, the deeply personal, psychological, emotional, ritual and spiritual. Nguyen-Long has recently reconnected with her Vietnamese heritage and its rich cultural traditions aligning language, research and ceramic making to inform her new work and current PhD studies.”

Berlin Art Biennale 2022: ‘Still Present!’

Text: Maria Muñoz | June 14, 2022

BERLIN BIENNALE CATALOGUE

“Mai Nguyễn-Long lives and works in Bulli, Dharawal Country, AU
 
Born in Tasmania to a Vietnamese father and an Australian mother, Mai Nguyễn-Long grew up in Papua New Guinea and the Philippines; as an adult she has lived in Australia, China, and Vietnam. This trajectory of migration during times of social and political upheaval has allowed Nguyễn-Long to make sense of her identity, history, and cultural heritage.

For the 12th Berlin Biennale, the artist presents two bodies of work: VOMIT GIRL (BERLIN CLUSTER) and SPECIMEN (PERMEATE) (both 2022). With VOMIT GIRL (BERLIN CLUSTER), Nguyễn-Long grapples with the historical trauma of the Vietnam War and the mental division it created between North and South, both of which form part of the artist’s hybrid identity. For Nguyễn-Long, “the recurring vomit motif came from a sense of being erased: having no identity, language, or voice to speak with. There is overwhelming sadness and confusion about how to bridge the dense chasm of exclusionary narratives, misunderstandings, discrimination, rejection, and shame.” Inspired by the rustic aesthetics (MỘC MẠC) and playfulness of traditional Vietnamese ĐÌNH architecture, Nguyễn-Long has experimented with clay to create the various manifestations of VOMIT GIRL (BERLIN CLUSTER). This work is a powerful symbol of resistance as well as a ritual summoning of spirits from the beyond. SPECIMEN (PERMEATE) eerily recalls images of fetuses and organs labeled and stored in glass hospital jars. Both works evoke the Agent Orange disaster that continues to haunt thousands of lives. Nguyễn-Long’s works are a potent reminder of this horrific crime that was nearly forgotten even in Vietnam, where the fast pace of capitalism has eclipsed historical memory.

Đỗ Tường Linh”

Text from pages 120-121 of the12th Biennale for Contemporary Art catalogue. Exhibition dates 11 June – 18 September 2022 curated by Kader Attia.
