gdm Taipei is pleased to present Alison Nguyen: Prosthetic Memory, the artist’s debut solo exhibition, on view from May 7 to July 26, 2025. The exhibition features two speculative fiction works — History as Hypnosis and Corridor 9 — which combine film, installation, and sculpture to reflect Nguyen’s perspective as a Vietnamese American and her observations on historical narratives, mass media, and cultural censorship.

Alison Nguyen (b. 1986) was born into a family shaped by the Vietnam War. The unspoken weight of wartime memory within her family prompted the artist to interrogate the unseen legacies of conflict—particularly the lingering effects of the American military-industrial complex, surveillance technologies, and digital infrastructures.

Coming of age during the digital revolution, Nguyen witnessed the evolution of the internet and the rise of AI. Drawing from her Vietnamese heritage, she critically examines how media technologies regulate and reconfigure collective memory, historical narrative, and cultural identity.

Asia cordially invites you and your guests to join us for the exhibition opening of Alison Nguyen: Prosthetic Memory on Wednesday, May 7, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at gdm. The artist will be present for the event.

gdm Taipei 很高興在畫廊展出藝術家首次展覽《Alison Nguyen: Prosthetic Memory》，展出時間為2025年5月7日至7月26日。
展覽展出兩種思辨性小說——《歷史作為催眠》和《走道9》——結合電影、裝置和雕塑,呈現藝術家作為越南裔美國人的觀點,以及她對歷史敘事、大眾媒體和文化審查的觀察和反思。

Alison Nguyen (b) 1986年)出生於越南戰爭的家庭。 Alison家族承載的戰時記憶中未被言喻的重量,促使藝術家質疑戰爭未見的遺產——美國軍工複合體、監控技術和數位基礎設施帶來的揮之不去影響。

Alison成年適逢數字革命,見證了互聯網的進化和人工智能的崛起。 藝術家從她的越南人根源中審問媒體技術如何規範和重新配置集體記憶、歷史敘事和文化認同。

Asia誠摯邀請與親友於5/7 （三）下午17:00-19:00參與gdm 新展覽 《Alison Nguyen: Prosthetic Memory》個展開幕，藝術家本人將親臨現場。
