Tinney Contemporary kicked off 2020 with a bang, hosting Sisavanh Phouthavong’s sprawling display of art and sculpture that responded to America’s devastating Vietnam-era bombing campaigns in Laos and Cambodia. The Infinite Monsoon spoke to the turbulence of war and refugee life, as well as to the lasting legacies found in the third-culture experiences of Laotian Americans like Phouthavong. The fact that this was one of the last shows many of us saw in person before COVID-19 arrived in Nashville only makes it more powerful. JOE NOLAN
