Founded in 2010 in Hanoi, Vietnam, by six artists Nguyễn Huy An, Vũ Đức Toàn, Nguyễn Song, Ngô Thành Bắc, Hoàng Minh Đức, and Nguyễn Dương Hải Đăng, Phụ Lục (The Appendix Group) remains one of the few performance art collectives in Vietnam that has consistently expanded the discipline while mentoring emerging artists. Known for their use of allegorical everyday objects as props, the group stages durational performances in abstract settings and evokes social issues and explores personal concerns through a language of minimal yet potent gestures. Phụ Lục has participated in numerous local and international performance art events, with its participating artists varying from project to project.

Initiated by Vân Đỗ in 2025, Phụ Lục Project celebrates one of Vietnam’s rare performance art collectives through an open-access living archive, a two-chapter exhibition (opening November 2025), commissioned essays, and a constellation of public programs. With the generous support of the Nguyễn Art Foundation, the project not only situates Phụ Lục’s practice within the wider history of performance art in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, but also opens a critical space to reflect on what it means to exhibit, archive, and collect performance art today.

The project will unfold gradually while the exhibitions are on view and continue afterwards. All updates and materials will be shared on this website.
