A detail about Brian Doan's aortrwk that is almost never brought up is that this photograph is part of a diptych, which means that there are 2 images installed to tell the whole story that artist wants to tell. In Brian's case, the second photo is hung to the left of the photo with the girl and depicts a man standing in the middle of the woods (obviously outside of VN) with his eyes closed and carrying in one hand an empty bird cage with its door left open. Diptychs usually involve a conversation of contrasts, and for Brian's installation, it's: freeing outdoors vs. indoors with no windows; girl's eyes dreamily staring into a land beyond towards the direction of the guy vs. guy's eyes are closed not looking back; one is a little darker vs. the other a little brighter; he is standing vs. she is sitting. I understand that art can be challenging to decipher, but that is also the beauty of it it's not black/white or good/bad, nor should it be.If the newspapers, tv's, and blogs would show the two images together as they were intended, perhaps the whole conversation of the simplistic these Communist symbols are offensive could be taken to the next level. Perhaps we could talk about how this is the reality for many of the younger generation in Vietnam who grew up seeing the communist flag and pictures of HCM as normal. Many of these youths can be disillusioned with how these communist ideologies can be so easily exchanged for a cell phone, a pair of jeans, or even a golden bust. It's speaks more to the commodification of Vietnam.Too bad many of you can no longer view the exhibit as it was intended so that you could see for yourself how the rest of the room was arranged and to also see the other powerful works of art that just blew me away!I'm glad to see that many people are talking about this subject as this is one of the organizers' goals. Keep talking about it, community, and I encourage you to talk about it from an informed place and not be manipulated by the media or other organizations or individuals that spin it in a certain way for their own agenda.I trust that our community will one day transcend these narrow views of these symbols and not give them away so easily to the commies! In unity we stand!
