The Nguyen Art Foundation presents the Phụ Lục Project, a long term research and curatorial project initiated by Van Do. Founded in 2010, Hanoi, by six artists—Nguyen Huy An, Vu Duc Toan, Ngo Thanh Bac, Nguyen Van Song, Hoang Minh Duc, and Nguyen Duong Hai Dang—Phụ Lục is known for their idiosyncratic style of performance art. The collective explores personal concerns alongside social issues using abstract staging, allegorical everyday objects as props, as well as minimal yet potent gestures. Conceived as an open-access living archive, the project traces the collective Phụ Lục’s practice that is currently into its 15th year. The showcase seeks to position the collective within the history of performance art in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. At the same time, it unfolds as a critical, reflective space to consider how performance can be remembered, reimagined, and carried forward. To this end, this large-scale project is presented through a two-chapter exhibition format straddling two of the Nguyen Art Foundation’s venues. Its themes will also be extended through a series of public programmes, commissioned essays, and artistic responses.
Phụ Lục Project runs until May 2026 at two venues, EMASI Nam Long and EMASI Van Phuc, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on different days. More information here.
Cycle of Life

After eight years since her last solo in Cambodia, Tith Kanith returns with her latest exhibition Cycle of Life at SNA Arts Management. The presentation revisits works from 2007 to 2025, interweaving her early artistic moments with recent gentle provocations. Occupying three storeys of the homegrown gallery, the show includes a range of screen-based, painted, and coiled steel pieces. Together, they take time as a premise to tell the story of movements in Cambodia’s history, as well as collaborators and personal evolutions that have shaped Kanith’s works.
Cycle of Life runs until 14 March 2026 at SNA Arts Management, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. More information here.

Held at Art Outreach Singapore, Homecoming 3: Coming Home is curated by John Tung in partnership with the Families for Life Council (FFL). Reflecting on everyday family life with FFL’s emphasis on the importance of making time for family bonding, the presentation brings together works by filmmaker Roystan Tan and ceramicist Kim Whye Kee. The former will show 100 Dinners, a documentary on 100 families across Singapore as they share meals at home, while the latter will showcase 100 Bowls, an installation of hand-thrown ceramic rice bowls painted with images of pomfrets. Together, the complementary works posit the routine of sharing meals as a meaningful anchor of family life, gesturing towards moments of intimacy, care, and resilience. Homecoming 3 will be accompanied by public programmes, dialogue sessions, and reflective spaces designed to invite visitors to share their own stories around food and family.
Homecoming 3: Coming Homeis up for view from 8 to 22 February 2026 at Art Outreach Singapore. More information here.
(In)visible Presence

Dib Bangkok opened in December last year with a significant collection of more than 1,000 pieces of contemporary art from Thailand and around the world. Founded by the Osathanugrah family and designed by WHY Architecture, the museum is premised as a cultural hub for creative exchange and extensive programming. Its inaugural exhibition, (In)visible Presence, transforms the three-story converted warehouse into a multisensory exploration of memory and the human condition. Curated by Ariana Chaivaranon and under the artistic direction of Miwako Tezuka, the narrative journey features works by 40 leading artists including Sho Shibuya, Lee Bul, Moontien Boonma, Alicja Kwade, and Pinaree Sanpitak. Its unifying theme poses a vital question: how do we remember what is dear to us, yet invisible? In dialogue with the museum’s architecture, the displays shift from grounded, sensory works to intimate pieces and expansive light installations. Beyond the museum walls, outdoor installations transform the landscape into spaces of meditation, softening the hard lines of the city.
(In)visible Presence runs from now until 3 August 2026 at Dib Bangkok, Thailand. More information here.

ROH Projects launches its first group exhibition for the year, New Paintings, which features recent works by artists Nadya Jiwa, Naotaka Hiro, Ser Serpas, Wei Jia and Tith Kanitha. New Paintings puts the five artist’s practices in dialogue for the first time to posit a new syntax for articulating contemporaneity. Their works emerge from concerns about freedom, the dissolution of the body, and losing one’s grip on reality.
New Paintings is up for view until 22 February 2026 at ROH Projects, Jakarta, Indonesia. More information here.
