Monologue: Calcium Breather - For ARTIFACT Journal 2025 (Vietnam Art Collection)

Added on by Alvin Luong.

In the summer of 2025, Sophie Huang from VAC invited me to contribute to the second annual issue of ARTIFACT Journal published by VAC.

Expanding on the thoughts that were put in formation from my interview with curator Tak Pham in C Magazine, I contributed a monologue to ARTIFACT Journal reflecting on the condition of travel for refugees and coral from Bidong Island to the broader world, and the production of Corals of Bidong and Camp Atlanta.

The free digital copy of the journal is distributed here: https://www.vac.art/artifact

With select physical copies, including the Vietnamese edition, at VAC in Hanoi and Shanghai.
