Pham Minh Hieu
Overview
The Laboratory for Experimental (Meta)physics (Room 1F), 2024
Pham Minh Hieu holds a BA with Honors in Art Practice from Stanford University. His interdisciplinary, collaborative practice is informed by creative thinkers in fields spanning philosophy, physics, technology and anthropology. Pham often traverses various modes of making from artificial intelligence, nanofabrication, and additive manufacturing to traditional crafts like glassworking, son mai (lacquer), and kham trai (pearl inlay) to create things at their fundamentals. He installs his work into dwellings he calls ‘total installations,’ where things are quested to speculate reality as they gather and unfold across scales.
Notable exhibitions include Fractured Times, The Outpost, Hanoi, Vietnam; Pham Minh Hieu: Nhu the la (Quasi), AGOhub, Hanoi, Vietnam; and O day & Bay gio (Here & Now), 93 Dinh Tien Hoang, Hanoi, Vietnam. In 2021, Pham was the recipient of the John Shively Fowler Award in Photography at Stanford University. He is based in Hanoi.
