Pham Minh Hieu

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, sơn mài (lacquer), and khảm 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 The Laboratory for Experimental (Meta)physics (Room 5), a solo presentation at the Vietnam Pavilion of the 15th Gwangju Biennale, Gwangju, South Korea; The Foliage V, Vincom Center for Contemporary Art, Hanoi, Vietnam; Fractured Times, The Outpost, Hanoi, Vietnam; Untitled (7 Events), Galerie Quynh, Ho Chi Minh City, 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.
