Galerie Quynh is now presenting Ideal Fall – an exhibition of photography, painting and installation by Hoang Duong Cam. This much anticipated exhibition, developed over a period of four years, reflects the artist's ongoing examination of idealism and its effects on reality in present-day Vietnam. Considering Plato's Theory of Forms, Hoang investigates the roots of idealism and questions how our thoughts, chronic habits and (outmoded) customs are formed.

Born in 1974, Hoang Duong Cam studied at the Hanoi Fine Art University. Hoang is one of Vietnam's most important artists of the post-doi moi generation. He has participated in numerous exhibitions and biennales in Asia, North America and Europe. Recent exhibitions include Representation in the meaning of a metaphor for a forest as endoscopy / links between locations, Project Space and Spare Room Gallery, School of Art, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia; VideoZone 5, the 5th International Video Art Biennial, Tel Aviv, Israel; Daegu Photo Biennale, Daegu, South Korea; Arts and Cities, Aichi Triennale, Nagoya, Japan; Connect: Art Scene Vietnam, ifa Galerie Berlin and Stuttgart, Germany. Other noteworthy exhibitions include Fluid Zone, Jakarta Biennale, Indonesia; Post-Doi Moi: Vietnamese Art After 1990, Singapore Art Museum, Singapore; the 3rd Guangzhou Triennial, Guangdong Museum, Guangzhou, China; Migration Addicts (Mogas Station), a collateral event of the 52nd Venice Biennale, Venice, Italy; Thermocline of Art. New Asian Waves, ZKM | Museum of Contemporary Art, Karlsruhe, Germany; and Belief (Mogas Station), Singapore Biennale 2006.
