The Propeller Group resists the expectations that typically constrain Vietnamese artists, who are all too often asked to speak of history rather than here and now... Approaching topics of death and violence with heady sensuality, their videos ask what a less melancholic relationship to Vietnam's history might look like-- a crucial first step in moving beyond entrenched notions of trauma.--Chanon Kenji Praepipatmongkol "Artforum "
The Propeller Group--an artist team made up of Phunam, Matt Lucero and Tuan Andrew Nguyen, and based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam--blurs the boundaries between fine art and media production, in much the same way that this publication blurs the boundaries between a traditional exhibition catalogue and an artist's book. The publication features essays by curators Naomi Beckwith and Cesar Garcia, as well as contributions by each of the members of The Propeller Group: Nguyen pens an obituary for the group that pays homage to Vietnamese funereal celebrations, Phunam shares an astrological reading and Lucero creates a travelogue that records the group's recent exploration of Papua New Guinea.
