Two weeks prior to the opening of “Untitled (Entitled),” between a hectic schedule of dance rehearsals, installation, photo shoots, and sound tests, Jacqueline Hoàng Nguyễn and Bonniers Konsthall’s curator Yuvinka Medina took a moment to reflect on their time working together and how the exhibition came to fruition. Over coffee cups and computers, and keeping COVID safety measures in mind, a conversation between artist and curator unfurled.
