A large installation on a red circular platform features a mix of eclectic objects and materials. At the center is a table draped with patchwork fabric and adorned with sculptures, including a golden horse, cross made of barbies, and various toy figures. Soft toys and fabric-draped structures surround the table, with additional objects and hanging pig intestines in the background. The space is softly lit, with green and white walls in the background. A person stands nearby, observing the installation.

An outdoor installation set within the ruins of a circular concrete structure. Metal fencing with geometric patterns stands in the foreground, while a large curved concrete pillar arcs overhead. On the aged wall behind the installation, various metal symbols are arranged in a grid pattern. A tree grows through the open space, partially visible through a window opening. The stark concrete setting contrasts with the industrial metal elements and the natural greenery outside the structure. A star-shaped metal piece is affixed to the wall, adding a subtle sculptural detail.

A minimalistic installation features geometric, metal sculptures. On the left, a large octagonal metal structure is mounted on the wall with a vibrant pink core. To the right, three metal chairs are placed on an elevated white platform, each backrest featuring a circular cutout with an egg-like object. Above the chairs, a metal sculpture frames a pink image in the centre, resembling a floating organic form. The walls and floor are a neutral grey, giving the space a clean, futuristic feel with focused lighting.

Catapult x Adelaide Fringe 2025 WIP Artist Talk

Join emerging artist Truc Truong and mentor Jen Mathews, co-director of Fab Workshop and Studio, for the culmination of the Catapult x Adelaide Fringe mentorship. This work-in-progress exhibition features welded sculptures and an industry talk focused on creating culturally safe spaces, navigating artistic practice, and forging unique pathways in art and fabrication.

Presented by: Truc Truong

Truc Truong works across assemblage, installation, and sculptural forms, with a focus on challenging invisible systems of power and control. Her practice engages with unconventional materials, often questioning concepts of authenticity, value, and survival in a world shaped by colonial legacies and global capitalism. Drawing on her Vietnamese heritage and personal family history, Truc’s work delves into the complexities of cultural resilience, remembrance, and how we inherit and reinterpret traditions.

Truong graduated from the University of South Australia with a Bachelor of Art and Design (Honours) in 2022. Since then, she has been selected for prestigious programs such as the ACE Studio Program in Adelaide and the Primavera exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.
