Ordinance Gallery is pleased to present The Closing of Opening Ceremony, a solo exhibition by Truc Truong.
Drawing on Vietnamese funerary customs and ancestral knowledge, the exhibition reflects on what endures after rituals and cultural performance. Sculptural works incorporate counterfeit materials and contemporary symbols to explore grief, class, and the presence of inherited memory. Part-altar, part-ceremonial structure, each piece offers space for discomfort, emotional fatigue, and unresolved meaning.
Truc Truong creates work that examines the hidden structures of power, heritage, and authenticity, using unconventional materials to question how these forces shape cultural narratives and personal histories. Her practice, spanning assemblage, installation, and storytelling, is rooted in uncovering the layers of meaning within everyday objects, challenging ideas of value, ownership, and resilience in a world marked by histories of control and influence.
