Biography
Biddy Tran is a multimedia artist born in Rach Gia, Viet Nam and currently based in Chicago, IL. Her work is focused on questions of capitalist hegemony, postcoloniality, and hegemony within art, representation, and imaging.聽
In the spirit of undermining conventions of historic imaging and representation, the nature of her practice is interdisciplinary and research oriented. The work itself tends to take the form of interactive installation and architectural modification that incorporate and re-present traditional art objects (drawing, painting, photography, sculpture) as well as 鈥渘ew media鈥 (video, sound, interactive media). The hope is that viewers will become aware of themselves perceiving and consuming 鈥渁rt鈥 and reconsider the politics of representation as critical and active participants.聽
