Dear Friends & Patrons,
I would like to personally invite you to visit Anacostia during DC Fotoweek for
tomorrow night's opening exhibit by Khan H. Le & performance
by the Analog Arts Ensemble including a World Premier piece by Rudolf Kämper!
The Gallery at Vivid Solutions
presents a solo exhibition of works by
Vietnamese born artist Khanh H. Le.
Neither… Nor includes 14 large scale images using the multiple plate polymer
photogravure etching technique. Le examines identity, through the bits and pieces of personal
memory, the collective history from two cultures; Vietnamese and American.
Le explains, “What happens to their (Vietnamese) identities and their contents once they
become removed? I slowly placed them in contrast with...magazines I found at the grocery. I
began to place figures from historical images and film throughout all of the living spaces that I
have desired since childhood.” Le reflects the experiences of many Americans, looking at his
own immigration story; “My rootedness is shaken with doubt and discomfort because it is
transforming into a kind of rootless-ness as I slowly acclimate to American
culture....Contradictions and fragmentations are key issues in examining the notion of identity.
Opening Reception at 6pm
After the opening at 8pm the contemporary classical group, The Analog Arts Ensemble.
The group will be performing works by Roussel and Francaix, as well as a World Premier piece by Rudolf
Kämper titled, "From the remote depths of the corridor, the mirrow spied upon us."
The performance is funded in part by the NEA and is part of the
galleries annual social arts initiative.
The Gallery at Vivid Solutions is located at 2208 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE WDC 20020
