Thai Bui: Visual Art: Educator Guide

Vietnamese-born sculptor Thai Bui makes haunting works of art that speak to a sense of displacement and longing that has characterized the artist's own turbulent life. Bui's extraordinary objects combine references to his experiences in both the United States and Vietnam, simultaneously communicating a witty humor and penetrating sense of loss. In "Looking East," Spark visits with Bui as he installs a major public commission for the city of Palo Alto.

Thai Bui: Visual Art
