"CFGNY's work incorporates raw construction materials and plush figures as vehicles to broach bigger issues: of labor, of identity, of value."
"The collective's name itself, 'Corporate Global Fashion New York', symbolizes a deliberate structure that reflects their approach to art and identity."
"'Vaguely Asian' is a condition of legibility in flux, shaped as much by external perception as by self-definition."
"Their broad practice bucks easy categorization, creating a vibe that can seem insidiously sunny while addressing serious themes."
CFGNY, an Asian-American art/fashion collective, presents their exhibition 'Puddles into Pond' at Amant in Brooklyn until August 16. Founded by Daniel Chew, Ten Izu, and Tin Nguyen, the collective is known for made-to-order garments from Vietnam and participatory performance art. Their work challenges easy categorization, using plush figures and raw materials to address complex issues of identity and value. The concept of 'vaguely Asian' serves as a fluid identity that reflects both self-definition and external perception.
