7 March – 19 April 2008

Fiction, Emotion and Obsession comprises new exhibitions by three Sydney-based artists Miya Hyunmi Roh, My Le Thi and Cecelia Huynh. The works of the three women artists share deeply introspective revelations into their lives and personalities using video, sculptural installa- tion and photographic media.

Sydney-based Korean artist Miya Hyunmi Roh sees her artwork My Subject Happy to be ‘I’ as a type of diary, in which she becomes her work’s primary subject and central theme. Roh uses a range of media, from video to mixed media installation.

Roh’s Red Tape, will be screened sunset-sunrise on the gallery’s front window as part of 4A’s NIGHTVISION series, while her exhibition will be accessible during the day, turning 4a into a 24 hour exhibition space.

Trust, Betrayal, The Light is an exhibition of new video work by Vietnamese-Australian artist My Le Thi. Her two new video works in this exhibition draw heavily on very personal experiences of loss, survival and renewal. The artist combines animation, and filmic narrative structures to convey memories which are fraught with trauma and pain.

Artist Cecelia Huynh has worked as a teacher of English as a second language. This experience as well as her background as a first generation Vietnamese-Australian, has made Huynh sensitive to linguistic aberrations in syntax and other rules that are used by immigrants and foreigners. In Moving Fictions, the artist has created an installation with text and photography displayed in light boxes and cardboard boxes which captures the struggle to articulate and express through language.
