MoT+++

An artist-run space founded in 2015 by the artist Cam Xanh; it has since grown into the MoT +1 collective and runs the international residency programme A. Farm.

MoT+++ is an independent, artist-run contemporary art space in Ho Chi Minh City, with an international artist residency programme attached. The address recorded in the survey is La Astoria 2, 2nd floor, room 02.08, 383 Nguyen Duy Trinh, District 2. The space was founded in 2015 by the artist Cam Xanh and later expanded into the MoT +1 collective with members Kim Duy, Cian Duggan, Wu Chi-Tsung and Aliansah Caniago. The group's premise is clear: it treats the gallery site itself as one more place to experiment, rather than a place to display finished work. The programme is described as flexible and quick to respond, including exhibitions, installations, performances, talks, workshops, sound events, open studios and residencies, changing according to the needs of the artists it is working with. MoT+++ also manages A. Farm, an international art residency programme for Vietnamese and foreign artists, with funded, self-funded and exchange places. One thing to note is that the official site now describes MoT+++ as a distributed model - a collection spread across the city, placed in private homes, businesses, studios and public spaces, with the line that the map is the floor plan and the city is the building. This means the La Astoria address in the survey may no longer be the only place to go, and whether that address is still in use, as well as how to arrange to see works under the distributed model, needs further confirmation. Because the programme changes constantly and the current model is distributed, the best approach is to ask first by email or through the fanpage about what is on and where. The address in the British Council report is La Astoria 2, 2nd floor, room 02.08, 383 Nguyen Duy Trinh, District 2, open on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 18:30 to 21:00. Contact is possible on +84 904 497 769, at museum@motplusplusplus.com or info@motplusplusplus.com, and through motplusplusplus.com, the Facebook page MoTplusplusplus and profiles on Artsy and TransArtists. The space suits people following experimental contemporary art, artists looking for residency opportunities and curators; it should not be approached as a commercial gallery, since this is a place for experiment and there may be nothing on show at the moment of a visit. A visit can be combined with other art spaces in District 2.
