Matt Lucero and Tuan Andrew Nguyen from the Vietnam-based art and visual collective touch base with Patrick Benjamin.

Our exhibit Uh is all about … the freedom of expression and a vibrant youth culture in present day Vietnam.

Our biggest challenge when making music videos is … convincing the likes of Hoang Thuy Linh (Vietnamese pop singer) that we can’t mimic the tacky aesthetics of American manufactured pop videos.

Working with Danish arts collective Supeflux … was a dream come true. The trio are so clever, inspiring, meticulous and patient.

We always play with … the stereotypes and conventional approaches to our mediums, kind of a mindf**k but that’s our way of being truly creative.

We respect Vietnamese culture because … it’s one of the richest visual cultures in the world.

Check out Uh at Video, An Art, a History 1965-2010.
