The show includes a large-scale series of paintings on a scroll of canvas, depicting lush green scenes from Vietnam resembling images on a roll of film. Artist Chau Nguyen, who was born in Hanoi and studied art at Bryn Mawr College and Temple University, wanted the canvas to unspool on the floor to allow viewers to get closer to the work. There are also a series of cartoonish illustrations of pedal carts selling wares on the street of Bogota, Colombia, where artist Daniel Mendez grew up. 'I love riding a bicycle,' Menedez wrote in an artist's statement.
