Phạm Minh Hiếu (born in 1996, Hanoi) is a Vietnamese contemporary artist currently living and working in Hanoi. In pursuit of the truth about reality and understanding his contemporaneity, he works across a wide range of techniques—from traditional crafts to emerging technologies such as AI and nanofabrication—to create dwellings he refers to as "total installation of art"..[1]
Hiếu was twice acknowledged by Nhân Dân newspaper as "one of the very few artists who lead a distinctive path that integrates art with physics, technology, and other disciplines to present a more holistic perspective on life."[2][3]
He has participated in various solo and group exhibitions in Vietnam and abroad, including at the Gwangju Biennale,[4] the Château de Montsoreau-Museum of Contemporary Art,[5] Galerie Quynh,[6] and The Outpost Art Organisation.[7]
In 2021, he founded Studio Phạm Minh Hiếu, a collaborative platform for transdisciplinary art practices that seeks to explore new definitions of contemporary art and promote contemporary art to a broader public.
Education
[edit]Phạm Minh Hiếu attended Hanoi – Amsterdam High School, where he specialized in Physics. In 2014, he won the Second Prize in the National Physics Olympiad[8] when there was no First Prize.
He later went to Stanford University, where he initially pursued a joint degree in Computer Science and Art Practice before concentrating solely on Art Practice in his junior year.[9] In his senior year, he took a one-on-one directed reading class with archaeologist Ian Hodder.[10] It was during this time that he began engaging with theoretical frameworks such as thing theory, actor-network theory, object-oriented ontology, and new materialism—ideas that later became the conceptual foundations of his artistic practice.
Phạm Minh Hiếu completed both his honors thesis and senior thesis under the mentorship of physicist Hideo Mabuchi and new media artist Camille Utterback.[10] In 2021, he graduated from Stanford with a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Art Practice.
Following his graduation, he returned to Vietnam and co-founded Studio Phạm Minh Hiếu with his sister Phạm Quỳnh Nhi. This marked the beginning of an effort to foster collaboration between artists, cultural institutions, technical providers, and material suppliers to support the development of contemporary art in Vietnam.[11]
Art practice
[edit]Artistic approach
[edit]Phạm Minh Hiếu's artistic practice integrates physics, ontology, and advanced technology into a conceptual framework called total installation—a concept pioneered by Ilya Kabakov & Emilia Kabakov.[12] For Phạm, however, "he installs his work into dwellings [...] where things are quested to speculate reality as they gather and unfold across scales."[13]
Phạm Minh Hiếu is deeply interested in untangling the complex of contemporaneity. However, when examining this notion, he once acknowledged that he had "unintentionally complicated its definition."[11] Drawing from his experiences in both Vietnam and the US, he critiques rigid globalization for its tendency to standardize cultural expression, arguing that it leads to fragmented identities.[11] His work aims to explore the portrait of contemporary Vietnamese society within an increasingly global society, evolving through collaboration with individuals and creative organizations.[14]
Early practice
[edit]Phạm Minh Hiếu first entered the art scene in 2014 with his solo exhibition Here & Now at the Exhibition House, 93 Dinh Tien Hoang Street, Hanoi. The exhibition was held for the second time at Hanoi – Amsterdam High School as part of an official visit by the Mayor of Amsterdam, Netherlands, on December 10, 2014.[15]
The exhibition featured three rooms examining the social perceptions of time through the lens of physics.[16] Although developed early in his career, the exhibition introduced several key themes—such as the fusion of physics and art, the use of installation as a medium, and the interrelationship between artist, artwork, and viewer—that continued to appear in his later work.
During his years at Stanford University, he created Where is Hieu?, an interactive sculpture that used GPS-based motion tracking to always point toward his current location. As he moved, the mechanical arm followed in real time, but it became less accurate the closer he got. Phạm Minh Hiếu described the work as a metaphor for his internal conflict between pursuing a stable career in technology and his growing passion for art.[14]
Return to Vietnam
[edit]In 2021, after completing his studies at Stanford University, Phạm Minh Hiếu returned to Vietnam and launched Phạm Minh Hiếu: Như thể là (Quasi) at AGOhub, Hanoi, as a mini showcase to introduce his practice to the community. The project featured an ALP Mini-Talk, co-hosted by LIXIL Vietnam and Kiến Việt Media, an exhibition space introducing Studio Phạm Minh Hiếu, and a total installation to encourage transdisciplinary collaboration in the arts.[17]
He continued to demonstrate the concept of total installation in the following years. In 2022, he was commissioned to create The Contemporary for Fractured Times,[18] the inaugural exhibition of The Outpost Art Organisation, Hanoi. The installation applied d&b Soundscape, a technology that supports object-based audio, to produce a multi-channel sound environment in which spatialized audio was used to present the contingency of Vietnamese contemporary art.[19]
In 2024, Phạm Minh Hiếu held his solo exhibition Untitled (7 Events) at Galerie Quynh,[20] a contemporary art gallery in Ho Chi Minh City that has been promoting contemporary art in Vietnam for more than two decades.[21] Though referred to as his "second" solo show, it marked his first official solo exhibition as a professional artist. Featuring five works he developed over a decade of artistic practice, the exhibition was conceived as "an exhibition of exhibitions", drawing upon the theoretical frameworks of speculative realism and new materialism that he had explored for years.[22]
In parallel with his studio practice, in 2024, he was part of the curatorial team for Hanoi Children's Palace: Nostalgia for the Future, a large-scale exhibition held within the Hanoi Festival of Creative Design 2024.[23] The festival was one of the city's key initiatives to fulfill its commitment as a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network for the 2024–2025 period.[24]
International presence
[edit]In 2024, Phạm Minh Hiếu represented Vietnam at the 15th Gwangju Biennale, Asia's oldest contemporary art biennial.[25] French curator and art critic Nicolas Bourriaud curated that year's edition.[26] He participated in the country's first-ever national pavilion titled Vietnam Pavilion: The Laboratory for Experimental (Meta)physics (Room 5).[27] According to Artnet, a platform for the international art market,[28] he was named one of "the breakout artists of the Biennale."[29]
The pavilion comprised two works: Frame of Reference and The Contemporary. While The Contemporary was adapted from his previous installation, Frame of Reference was a double-sided illuminated folding screen. One side featured a panoramic aerial view of Hanoi—his hometown—while the other displayed lenticular prints of the Red River's surface. Lê Thuận Uyên, the curator of this pavilion, stated that the pavilion invited viewers to "make sense of the conditions that they are put under."[30]
Vietnam Pavilion: The Laboratory for Experimental (Meta)physics (Room 5) emphasizes Phạm Minh Hiếu's positionality as a young artist "who constantly has to negotiate between his reality (cultural background, social context, personal identity) and the reality expected of him."[30] Being a Vietnamese artist who studied abroad, Hiếu occupies an in-between position shaped by cultural hybridity and global integration. The work engages with his reflections on Vietnam, presenting the country as a dynamic and evolving society in the digital age.
In the same year, he also represented Vietnam at Apollo's Decathlon: The Conceptual Olympiad, hosted by the Château de Montsoreau–Museum of Contemporary Art[31]—home to Art & Language's largest collection of works. Phạm's work before a sudden breeze (after Jeff Wall) was awarded in the Installation Art category.[32] By paying homage to Jeff Wall and Katsushika Hokusai, the work reflects his contemplation on the referential structure of contemporary art. He received an award, a limited print titled YOU WIN by Art & Language,[33] in recognition of his contribution.
Studio Phạm Minh Hiếu
[edit]Studio Phạm Minh Hiếu was established in 2021 by Phạm Minh Hiếu and his sister, Phạm Quỳnh Nhi. The studio supports a transdisciplinary approach to art by collaborating with individuals, institutions, suppliers, and other organisations across Vietnam and internationally.[34]
Since its founding, Studio Phạm Minh Hiếu has been behind several of Phạm's major projects, including Phạm Minh Hiếu: Như thể là (Quasi) (2021), The Contemporary (2022), and Untitled (7 Events) (2024). Beyond production, the studio also engages in educational activities, public programming, and cross-disciplinary research initiatives related to the contemporary art scene in Vietnam.
