Kon Gouriotis OAM in conversation with Mai Nguyễn-Long
11 am, Wednesday 6 March, 2024 - Wollongong Art Gallery
Kon Gouriotis OAM has been following Mai Nguyễn-Long’s practice since the 1990s, curating her first group exhibitions in Australia. Between 1997 and 2009, these opportunities included a series of expanding iterations of Vietnam Voices: Australians and the Vietnam War with Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre (CPAC). Through this broad lens into her practice – including Nguyễn-Long’s controversial Phở Dog, 2006, they will discuss how their CPAC Palanquin project is a continuum in Gouriotis curatorial commitment to Nguyễn-Long’s practice and a future evolution of Vomit Girl.
Free. All welcome. This is a special event associated with Mai Nguyễn-Long: Kôgábịnô curated by Adam Porter, 21 October 2023 – 7 April 2024, Wollongong Art Gallery.
