Dinh Q. Lê
Elegies

February 4 – March 13, 2010
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 4, 6-8pm

P•P•O•W is pleased to present Elegies, our sixth solo exhibition with Dinh Q Lê. Elegies is an installation of two videos, From Father to Son: A Rite of Passage (2007) and South China Sea Pishkun (2009) and related large scale photographic works. This will be the first New York screening for both videos. The videos focus on the specters that embody the psychological and physical inheritance of the Vietnam War. They also act as endings, one as an ending of the journey of a father and a son, and the other as an ending of America's misadventures in Vietnam. South China Sea Pishkun has been shown in Hong Kong and at the recent Fukuoka Triennale.
