P.M.S. 與河內藝術團體 ba-bau AIR，自2023年起展開台越的檳榔文化研究。此合作源於兩地相似的檳榔傳說，他們想像檳榔的傳播，尋著大地或海洋，隨人類遷徙帶至遙遠土地並落地生根—— 在台灣，檳榔與工業社會、勞動階級及性別經濟緊密相連；於原住民文化中，它開啟人靈之間的對話與空間；而在越南，檳榔文化保留於婚喪儀式中，並在千年前，曾是染黑牙齒的催化劑和口腔保健的材料。 今年 3 月，P.M.S.在《蜿蜒集》計劃下前往河內進駐 ba-bau AIR 空間，踏上田調之旅；今年 9 月 ba-bau AIR 成員 Dinh Thao Linh ＆ Kieu Anh Nguyen，也來到台北「打開-當代藝術工作站」為《蜿蜒集》進駐，兩人持續檳榔的調查研究，並基於各自的創作脈絡，尋訪台灣多個城市。 本週末的系列活動，P.M.S.將與參與者一起討論越南與台灣的檳榔田調研究，分享檳榔隱藏於文化表層下，各種交錯共存之價值體系。ba-bau AIR 經由在台灣的機會，舉辦「ba-bau Pop-Up 美容院」，且分享現階段的個人創作思考和實踐，以及呈獻「ba-bau 快閃美容院」的成果。

— 關於《蜿蜒集−台越交流計畫》 「打開−當代藝術工作站」與來自越南河內的藝術單位Nhà Sàn Collective、Á Space、ba-bau AIR，自 2023 年展開「蜿蜒集－台越交流計畫：河內」，以藝術家的田野調查作為交流計畫的行動主體，並以蜿蜒穿越北越山脊和平原的紅河作為想像－藝術家徘徊於由曲流沖刷出的紅河平原上，開啟於當地人文地理、自然環境、社會政經等面向的田野踏查，形成以個人行動路徑拓樸而成的檔案集。 — P.M.S. 「P.M.S.」源於三人名字的第一個字發音：Posak Jodian、manman（趙曼君)、Sophie Chen 。此三個縮寫字在英文中代表了「經前症候群」（Premenstrual Syndrome），一方面反映他們對主流歷史敘事的建構方式感到頭疼不適；另一方面，也幽默地解讀為「Probably Meaning Something」，當面對社會賦予的特定認知框架，試著抱持開放與尊重的心態，向各種人事物提問。 2023年開始，他們將個人的思考與行動匯聚為集體實踐，以原住民族群交織性別議題為主軸，於台灣、印尼、越南、日本等地策劃多場放映活動。同時，他們也以「檳榔」廣昭世界各地的姐姐妹妹站起來，以檳榔相互結盟，探索由其展開的多樣另類敘事。 — Dinh Thao Linh Dinh Thao Linh 是一位來自越南的多/跨學科藝術家、策展人和製作人，她致力於創造表達的空間——無論是物理的、時間的，還是心理的——以此將來自不同社區的人們聚集在一起。她的作品觀念和實踐從 ba-bau AIR 位於河內還劍區 Tho Nhuom 街 82A 號的家中的小角落延伸到其他地方，如太原大學（越南太原，2021）、德國卡塞爾 documenta fifteen（2022）、越南婦女博物館（越南河內，2022）、VIVA ExCon 2023（菲律賓潘艾島 Antique，2023）、Conflictorium（印度艾哈邁達巴德，2024）。 — Kieu-Anh Nguyen Kieu-Anh Nguyen 是一位常駐於越南河內的跨學科藝術家。她喜歡創造空間來促進對那些被忽視的身體和敘事，特別是關於女性的包容性對話。她的藝術實踐以嗅覺為核心探索記憶追溯與關懷實踐，這通常表現為參與性、軟雕塑，並且暗示著時間、空間和感官經驗之間的旅行。她的作品曾在多個空間展出，包括 VIVA ExCon、越南婦女博物館、亞洲藝術文獻庫和 documenta fifteen。Nguyen Kieu-Anh 是 ba-bau AIR 的聯合總監（自 2019 年起，河內）以及 ba-bau collective 的聯合創始人（自 2021 年起）。 — ba-bau AIR ba-bau AIR 成立於 2019 年，是一個位於越南河內的替代空間：一個廚房、一個工作室、一個藝術家進駐基地，也是乘載著其他任何形式可能的空間。ba-bau 本身則是一個由策展人、製作人和藝術家組成的集體（2021年）。他們的實踐專注於建立避風港、策劃並執行展覽、設計項目、促進跨學科合作與社區工作。他們同時還運營著 Hoa Quỳnh Cinema（一個起自 2021 年的親密、即興的放映與製作計畫）。ba-bau 的作品曾在河內 Ngọc Thuỵ 濕市場（2023-2024）、菲律賓 VIVA ExCon（2023）、德國第十五屆卡塞爾文件展（2022）、亞洲藝術文獻庫（2022、2023）、越南婦女博物館（2022）、太原大學（2021）、網絡空間（2021-2023）等地展出。 Website：https://www.ba-bau.org/

— Since 2023, P.M.S. and the Hanoi-based art collective ba-bau AIR have been exploring betel nut culture between Taiwan and Vietnam. This collaboration originates from the similar myths surrounding betel nut culture in both regions. They imagine its spread across land and sea, carried by human migration to distant lands where it eventually took root —— In Taiwan, betel nut is linked to industrial society, the working class, and the gender economy, while in Indigenous cultures, it facilitates communication between humans and spirits. In Vietnam, betel nut is central to wedding and funeral rituals and was historically used for teeth blackening and oral hygiene. In March, as part of the Meander Maps project, P.M.S. traveled to Hanoi for a residency at ba-bau AIR, where they began their field research. In September, ba-bau AIR members Dinh Thao Linh and Kieu Anh Nguyen came to Taipei to continue the research while visiting cities across Taiwan, drawing from their individual creative practices. This weekend, P.M.S. will engage with participants to discuss the betel nut research conducted in Vietnam and Taiwan, sharing the various intersecting value systems hidden beneath its cultural surface. ba-bau AIR, during their residency in Taiwan, will host the “ba-bau Pop-Up Salon” and, in the following session, share their current creative processes and practices, along with the outcomes from the pop-up services.
— ・ba-bau Pop-Up Salon Time｜09:00-12:00
Hair service by appointment (all booked), nail service free walk-in. Dinh Thao Linh & Kieu-Anh Nguyen’s “ba-bau Pop-Up Salon” transforms Open Contemporary Art Center into an “unconventional” beauty salon. Casual conversations, falling strands of hair, and molded nails come together to create an experimental gathering space that blurs the line between everyday life and art. Feel free to drop by even if you don’t have anything in mind yet.

— About Meander Maps Since 2023, Open-Contemporary Art Center has collaborated with Hanoi-based art groups Nhà Sàn Collective, Á Space, and ba-bau AIR on the “Meander Maps” project. This project centers on artists’ field research as the main form of exchange, drawing inspiration from the winding Red River as it traverses the ridges and plains of northern Vietnam. Artists wander through the Red River, shaped by the river’s curves, and conduct fieldwork that explores the region’s human geography, natural environment, and socio-political context. Through their personal journeys, they create a collective archive. — P.M.S. “P.M.S.” is derived from the first syllables of the their names: Posak Jodian, manman, and Sophie Chen. The acronym also stands for “Premenstrual Syndrome” in English, reflecting their frustration with the formation of mainstream historical narratives. Humorously, they also interpret it as “Probably Meaning Something,” reflecting their open and respectful approach to questioning societal frameworks. Since 2023, they’ve combined their thoughts and actions into a collective practice, focusing on the intersection of Indigenous and gender issues. They’ve curated screenings in Taiwan, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Japan. At the same time, they’ve turned betel nut into a symbol, rallying sisters across the world—building connections and exploring alternative narratives, one chew at a time. — ba-bau AIR Founded in 2019, ba-bau AIR is an alternative space: a kitchen, a studio, an artist-in-residence and whatever it could be in Hanoi. ba-bau is a collective (2021) with curators, producers, and artists. Their practices focus on designing safe spaces, curation & producing exhibitions, designing programs, emerging interdisciplinary collaborations & community-based work. They are running ba-bau AIR - a flexible space (artist-in-residence, kitchen, studio) in Hanoi (2019-) and Hoa Quỳnh Cinema (an intimate, impromptu screening project & production since 2021). ba-bau’s works have appeared/exhibited at daad galerie (Berlin, 2024), Ngọc Thuỵ wet market, Hà Nội (2023-2024), VIVA ExCon, the Philippines (2023), documenta fifteen, Kassel, Germany (2022), Asia Art Archive, Hong Kong/NYC (2022, 2023), Vietnamese Women’s Museum (2022), Thai Nguyen University (2021), cyberspace (2021-2023) Website｜ba-bau.org — Dinh Thao Linh Dinh Thao Linh is a Vietnam based multi/interdisciplinary artist-curator-producer who strives to create spaces of expression - whether physical, temporal, or psychological - where people from different communities are brought together. Notions of her works and her works move around the small corners of ba-bau AIR house, 82A Tho Nhuom, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi to other places: Thái Nguyên University (Thái Nguyên, Việt Nam, 2021), documenta fifteen (Kassel, Germany, 2022), Vietnamese Women’s Museum (Hanoi, Vietnam, 2022), VIVA ExCon 2023 (Antique, Panay Island, the Philippines, 2023), Conflictorium (Ahmedabad, India, 2024). — Kieu-Anh Nguyen Kieu-Anh Nguyen is an interdisciplinary artist based in Hanoi, Vietnam. She enjoys creating spaces to foster inclusive conversations underrepresented bodies and narratives, notably about women. Her art practice has foregrounded olfaction as the core line of inquiry to explore memory tracing and care practice, as it has taken the forms of participation, soft sculpture and often suggests travels between time, spaces, and sensory experiences. Her work was exhibited in various spaces, including VIVA ExCon, Vietnamese Women’s Museum, Asia Art Archive and documenta fifteen. Kieu-Anh is the co-director of ba-bau AIR (Hanoi, 2019-) and co-founder of ba-bau collective (2021-)
