- Summary
- "Linked by their histories of conflict, the burgeoning contemporary art scenes of Vietnam and Cambodia have not yet garnered significant global attention. In 'The City in Time,' Pamela Corey focuses on these artists and their contexts, suggesting alternative ways of understanding contemporary artistic practices within a region that lingers in international perceptions as perpetually 'post-war.' Focusing on Ho Chi Minh and Phnom Penh, Corey explores how these key Southeast Asian cities shape artistic practices while the art simultaneously consolidates images of the cities. By tracing how collective memory and national aspiration are symbolically mapped onto landscape and built space, Corey portrays the city as an organizing site of heterogeneous subjectivities, communities, and perspectives brought together in a collective space. 'The City in Time' considers how the city has significantly served as a mold for contemporary art in Vietnam and Cambodia, examining the ways artists have simultaneously re-focused the city as target of reform, renewal and promise, participating in and pushing the geographical and methodological boundaries of global contemporary art"--
