ICONS

ICONS spotlights Sung Tieu, an artist whose multidisciplinary works critically examine power, control, and societal perceptions through sculpture, sound, and installation.

Themes of bureaucratic control and surveillance are recurrent in Tieu’s work. Her pieces highlight the psychological and emotional impact of these systems, exploring how governance methodologies influence and shape human behavior. Through the use of sculptures, installations, and murals, Tieu unveils the power dynamics hidden within bureaucratic structures and control mechanisms.

For instance, her installations based on American immigration documents emphasize the compression of human experiences into bureaucratic forms. These works illustrate how the spatial parameters of asylum forms restrict the ability to tell personal stories, imposing rigid and dehumanizing limits. The accompanying stainless steel plaques quantify the available space for expressing life experiences, reducing human narratives to mere numbers and boxes.

INSIGHTS

“Loose Canon” by Estefanie Rodríguez Corleone and Jasmine Gregory at A MAIOR, Viseu, strategically places the artists' works in a commercial setting, exploring a more experimental edge.

“Loose Canon” by Estefanie Rodríguez Corleone, Jasmine Gregory at A MAIOR, Viseu

Compared to their previous works, both artists demonstrate a bold departure from traditional exhibition spaces, embracing the chaos and spontaneity of a commercial environment. This choice amplifies their ongoing exploration of themes such as identity, consumer culture, and social norms. The works maintain consistency in their use of everyday materials and playful critique, but the store setting adds a new layer of meaning and interaction. By placing their works inside a store, Rodríguez Corleone and Gregory challenge visitors to reconsider the boundaries between art and commerce.
