previewwww.bellevuearts.orgA Tapestry of Memories: The Art of Dinh Q. LêDinh Q. Lê, Crossing Paths (The Headless Buddha (1997), C-print and linen tape [Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue WA, Sep 1-Dec 30]BELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM, BELLEVUE WA – Sep 1-Dec 30 Los Angeles artist Dinh Q. Lê is knownfor the large-scale woven photomontages featured in his first major survey, A Tapestry of Memories:The Art of Dinh Q at the Bellevue Art Museum. The exhibit encompasses works acquired by bothprivate and museum collections over the past 20 years, and includes two multichannel videoinstallations and two white-on-white embroideries in addition to his signature woven C-prints.Lê was born in Vietnam and his family immigrated to Los Angeles during his childhood. As aresult, his cultural and societal perspective fuses elements of both his Eastern and Westernexperiences. His images combine personal family photos, American pop culture icons andrepresentations that resonate with the tensions of the Vietnam War. Through an intense platingtechnique, Lê physically weaves together strips of photographic prints. His finished pieces arepoetic, cross-cultural tapestries, as much about craftsmanship as concept. Through this process hedissects and reorders preconceived histories and fabricates a potent new allegory in his works.Much of Lê’s imagery is focused on conceptions about the Vietnam War. He uses the reality ofphotojournalism as well as borrowed and digitally enhanced still shots from popular Hollywoodmovies like Apocalypse Now. Recontextualizing his subjects, Lê immaculately blends elements oftruth and fiction. His multilayered imagery brings forth a sophisticated milieu that is unique to hisdual Vietnamese and American identities.
