Quynh Dong (b. 1982, Hai Phong, Vietnam) is a performance and video-based artist based in Switzerland. She creates hyper-real video works, sculpture and performances to provide an innate platform upon which she deliberately challenges cultural stereotypes. Often referencing various literature, iconography and history from Vietnam and Asia, she brings attention to the notions of identity and the diaspora through the corporeal.
Her works have been exhibited internationally, notably including the Kunsthalle Bern, Galerie Perotin in Paris, Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam, and Galerie Bernhard Bischoff & Partner in Bern. Dong has also performed at Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique Paris; Museé cantonal des Beaux-Arts Lausanne in Switzerland ; LISTE 17, the Young Art Fair in Basel, Switzerland; the Emily Harvey Foundation in New York, USA; and YAP`15, The Twinkle World, Exco 1F, Deagu, South Korea; among others. She studied Fine Arts at Bern University of the Arts, and completed her MA in Fine Arts at Zurich University of the Arts.
