Diane Severin Nguyen's 'WAR SONGS'

A Polaroid image of artist-filmmaker Diane Severin Nguyen wearing a gray T-shirt and standing in front of a bar or other sparkly/reflective backdrop. Photo is from the waist up, she looks over her shoulder at something out of the frame. Cheekbone has a dramatic highlight on it as though catching reflection of very bright light/effect of Polaroid film
Diane Severin Nguyen, 2025.

I was honored to get to attend a rehearsal for Diane Severin Nguyen’s PERFORMA2025 commission. (Band practice! It brought up lots of feelings.) And to have coffee with her to talk about it for my TCT piece this week.

(Also, lots of NY shows are closing this week. If you need to catch up, our October What’s On can now be mapped on the See Saw gallery guide app by entering #TCT in the search bar.)
