April 2000 marked the 25th anniversary of the fall of Indochina and the end of its war with the United States, inspiring this exhibition of works by artists with extensive personal connections to Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Although the U.S. involvement in Vietnam is best known, its devastating roles in Cambodia and Laos have remained largely un-discussed. The Art of War addresses the relationships between the East and West, history, personal and institutional memories, and the complexities of experience and the place of culture in our lives. Working primarily in photography, these artists aim to remember and understand, and to make us aware of what took place during the war and its aftermath. This exhibition endeavors to promote this understanding and awareness, not just among the regions specified, but on a broad and universal scale.
