ANOM : L’Indochine et la mer (1858-1954) du 14 septembre au 14 novembre 2018

Exposition organisée par l’IrAsia (UMR 7306) et les Archives nationales d’Outre-Mer (ANOM), présentée aux ANOM, 29 Chemin du Testas, Aix-en-Provence. Présentation et affiche ci-dessous.

L’exposition Indochine et la mer (1858-1954), co-organisée par l’IRASIA et les Archives nationales d’outre-mer (ANOM), a été inaugurée le jeudi 13 septembre à 17h30 en présence de son Excellence Nguyen Thiep, ambassadeur du Vietnam.

Depuis la découverte de cette partie de l’Asie par les prêtres des Missions Etrangères au XVIIe siècle au retrait de la France suite à la convention de Genève de 1954, l’histoire commune entre les Français et les Vietnamiens, Cambodgiens et Laotiens est marquée par la mer. C’est par la mer qu’est arrivée la domination française et par la mer également que les derniers Français ont quitté ces pays. Pendant près d’un siècle de présence, les Français ont introduit l’architecture navale européenne, construit des citadelles, révélé l’hydrographie, dessiné des cartes marines et mis en place les sciences maritimes.

Les Archives nationales d’outre-mer (ANOM) et l’Institut de recherches asiatiques (IrAsia), en collaboration avec le Service historique de la Défense, se proposent de rappeler,  à travers une présentation de documents, de photographies et de cartes extraits des fonds d’archives des ANOM, tout l’aspect maritime de l’ancienne Indochine, « la perle de l’empire ».

Entrée gratuite, du 14 septembre au 14 novembre 2018.

Lieu : Archives nationales d’outre-mer, 29 chemin du Moulin de Testas, Aix-en-Provence.

Ouvert du lundi au vendredi, de 9h à 16h45 sans interruption.

Saigon show uncovers century of conflict and political turmoil [VnExpress]

[ndlr] Exposition sur la période de la Première République du Sud Viêt-Nam à lire sur l’édition internationale en ligne de VnExpress (article de Manh Tung).

The Independence Palace has witnessed countless events unfold and shape the course of Vietnamese history.

Ho Chi Minh City will open an exhibition on Friday telling the story of its Independence Palace, one of the country’s most famous landmarks.

TheFrom Norodom Palace to Independence Palace 1868-1966″ exhibition will feature a collection of over 500 documents, pictures and artifacts showcasing the history of the Independence Palace, especially from the lesser-known time period between 1868 and 1966, said Tran Thi Ngoc Diep, director of the Independence Palace.

This exhibition is the most comprehensive ever about the palace, said Diep.

The exhibition will display how the palace was constructed and how its left-wing was destroyed by bombs during the war, and depict the rise and fall of former President of the Republic of Vietnam Ngo Dinh Diem. It will also show the self-immolation of Buddhist monk Thich Quang Duc in protest of the persecutions of Buddhists under Diem’s regime.

A central part of the exhibition is its colossal reserve of valuable historical documents, collected by historians from around the world. Many of them came from archives centers in Vietnam, the United States and France.

“We want to provide viewers with an interpretation of history itself, not just its recreation,” said Edward Miller, a professor of history and author of the book “Misalliance: Ngo Dinh Diem, the United States, and the Fate of South Vietnam”, who is one of the organizers.

“You must understand history in its particular context, not in isolated, separate time periods,” he said.

Ben Valentine : Photographing the Forgotten Vietnamese Widows of Japanese WWII Soldiers

[ndlr] Signalement d’un article intéressant sur une exposition photographique de Phan Quang à Ho Chi Minh-Ville.

When we talk about Japan and Vietnam in the 1940s, we discuss World War II, invasions, colonialism, and other monumental events that unfolded in this part of the world, but sent ripples across the globe. These grand historical narratives are crude tools used to summarize — but that never fully explain — what happened. In Vietnam, as in most countries, the way we remember such histories is embedded with propaganda. The stories we don’t tell, the names we forget, the people we don’t eulogize are greater in number by far than the ones we do. Vietnamese conceptual artist Phan Quang’s new series on view at Ho Chi Minh City’s Blanc Art Space, Re/Cover, is an evocative micro-history lost to most textbooks, but important nonetheless.

In 2011, Phan began researching Vietnamese women who had children with Japanese soldiers between 1940 and 1955. Although Japan was defeated and officially left Vietnam in 1945, some soldiers stayed behind until 1954–55, when their government demanded their return. Within that short window of time, when the whole world was at war and then struggling to rebuild, some Vietnamese women and Japanese soldiers fell in love and had children. While Vietnamese history decries and demonizes the invasion, and would try to ostracize these children as the products of prostitution or rapes by invaders, Phan began to find very different stories, many of them touching stories of love and remembrance, stories that did not fit into the dominant narrative.

Phan Quang’s Re/Cover is on view at Blanc Art Gallery (57 D Tu Xuong Street, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) through July 20.

Dinh Q. Lê : Memory For Tomorrow [exposition derniers jours au Mori Art Museum]

[ndlr] Exposition de l’artiste Dinh Q. Lê sur la thématique des civils dans la guerre. Une réflexion artistique sur la guerre vue des populations. L’exposition est présentée au Musée d’Art Mori à Tokyo depuis le 25 juillet jusqu’au 12 octobre 2015. Derniers jours.

DingQuangLe_MemoryForTomorrowCliquez sur l’image pour accéder au site de l’exposition

The first solo exhibition by the world’s most outstanding Vietnamese artist in Asia!

Born in Hà Tiên, a Vietnamese town near the Cambodian border, Dinh Q. Lê immigrated with his family to the U.S. at the age of ten to escape the Khmer Rouge. After studying photography and media art, Lê attracted attention with his tapestries made by weaving together strips of photographs (1989-), a process inspired by traditional Vietnamese grass mat weaving. Based on thorough research and interviews, Lê throws light on people’s memory as it is told through actual personal experiences. In The Farmers and the Helicopters (2006), the video installation that made Lê’s name known to people around the world, Lê ingeniously depicts the complex relationship between the Vietnamese people and war by focusing on a Vietnamese man who attempts to develop his own helicopter.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War as well as the 70th anniversary of Japan’s defeat in WWII. Examining the stories that have never been told, of individuals who have undergone events whose facts have been overshadowed by “official,” national and/or social histories, and exploring closer relations between art and society are extremely important issues. Through the unique artwork and activities of Dinh Q. Lê, this exhibition provides us with an opportunity to think about our past, present and future.

“Cuộc chiến tranh Việt Nam không đơn giản như mình nghĩ và tôi muốn người tới xem có được hiểu biết về cuộc chiến này mà không bị lệ thuộc vào những gì Chính phủ Việt Nam hay Chính phủ Mỹ nói ra,” ông Đỉnh nói.
