Arlette Quynh-Anh Tran
Lives and works in Ho Chi Minh City | Born 1987
Arlette Quynh-Anh Tran is an art laborer based in Ho Chi Minh City. She creates art both collectively and individually and also curates and writes. Her artworks combine politics and sci-fi aesthetics through the use of animation, 3D design, historical archives, and architecture. Arlette is fascinated by the idea of a futuristic Third World utopia where political ideals are reimagined, and humans and non-human beings coexist and merge. She presents a non-linear and absurd interpretation of modern histories that challenges the dominant post-Cold War narratives about the Third World.
Recent solo shows include Future Tense, ara contemporary, Jakarta, Indonesia, PLATTENLOTUS, station urbaner kulturen/nGbK Hellersdorf, Berlin, Germany (2025), and iii.x_Unrealized Utopia, at Gallery Medium, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (2024). Arlette recently concluded her residency at Cité internationale des arts, supported by The Art Explora Foundation (2026). In 2026, she is also awarded a grant from The Graham Foundation for her latest research Future Tense - Queering The Third World Architecture.
