Humanitarians
Not Heroes is Trong G. Nguyen's "artist-as-company" project,
initiated in 2002. Established under the umbrella of a legitimate business,
HNH markets one type of product a year intended for wide consumption and
distribution. The project occupies traditional and novel retail spaces
to sell and disseminate concepts that intersect art, fashion, design,
and socio-politics. Examining the valuation of objects whose complex functions
follow simple form, HNH's mission operates at the perimeters where art
and capitalism converge. |
