 MUSIC & PERFORMANCES

Hanoi-Ca Trù Shows by Kim Duc Ca Quan



July 7 and 21, 7 pm

Phu Sa Lab, 21/52 To Ngoc Van Road, Quang An Ward, Tay Ho District,

Artist Pho Thi Kim Duc – The connecting bridge of five generations of Ca tru

Artist Pho Thi Kim Duc was born and raised from the cradle of Ca Tru. In her family line, there are many people who were famous singers and artists of Ca Tru.

Phu Sa Lab is an experimental music center founded by artist Nguyen Nhat Ly. He hopes it will become a place for artists to gather and work together to create outstanding art performances. Here, we work for the innovation of culture, we bring the essence and talent of Vietnam to the world and affirm the position of the country, while preserving a strong national identity through the bamboo instruments used in our shows. We create sounds and melodies from BAMBOO – one of the symbols of Asians in general and Vietnamese in particular. Joining our shows, audiences will get to experience the traditional Vietnamese stage with the capacity of 50 seats and enjoy our traditional music.

In addition to developing arts and culture, we also maintain and protect the art of Ca Tru (The Tally Card Songs) – an intangible culture heritage recognized by UNESCO which is in need of urgent safeguarding. The performances by artists from the Kim Duc Ca Tru School at Phu Sa Lab beautifully convey the quintessence of Vietnam’s Ca Tru, set in a luxurious setting that bears the most distinctive features of Vietnam’s culture.

Phu Sa Lab promises to be an Experimental Music Center that brings unforgettable moments to local and international art lovers who would like to cherish the cultural heritage of Vietnam.

Until July 15, 10 am – 8 pm (Tue – Sun)
Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA)
B1 – R3, Vincom Mega Mall Royal City
72A Nguyen Trai, Thanh Xuan District, Hanoi

“Foliage II” is the continuation of “Foliage” with the hope to spread the passion of creativity from young artists to the public.

Mizuki Endo serves as the curator for “Foliage II”. The exhibition presents a range of artworks of realism, expressionism, abstractism,… by 10 young artists selected by Mizuki Endo and Pham An Hai – head of the art group Viet Art Now.

Featured in the exhibition are 34 artworks by Nguyen Nghia Cuong, Ha Phuoc Duy, Ta Minh Duc, Pham Ha Hai, Trieu Minh Hai, Le Phi Long, Nguyen Duc Phuong, Vu Duc Trung, Luong Trung, Vu Ngoc Vinh.

With the same spirit as “Foliage”, “Foliage II” opens the door for innovative and diverse modes of expression: self-reflection, self-examination, with an intersection for mutual understanding between the artists and the audience as well as among artists themselves. The interaction between the artworks and the venue’s specific architecture will also contribute to the unique installation of the exhibition.

Hanoi-“Ephemera” an exhibition by Marianne Smolska



Dong Phong Art Gallery, 3 Ly Dao Thanh Street, Hoan Kiem District

An exhibition of “Ephemera” by French artist Marianne Smolska.

Hanoi-Exhibition “Calculus Exercise #6/5” by Nguyen Huy An



June 2 – 30
Manzi Art Space, 14 Phan Huy Ich, Hanoi
Tel: (024) 3716 3397
Facebook: fb.co/manzihanoi
Opening hours: 8 am – 10.30 pm everyday

A solo exhibition by Nguyen Huy An, one of the most important contemporary artists in Vietnam today.

Known for his quiet, powerful paintings, installations and performance pieces, Huy An’s practice tends towards a minimal way of expression, using dark materials sourced from everyday life with an association to memories and personal experiences.

In this exhibition, Huy An shows small, simple, serene and poetic paintings on Dó paper portraying iconic rural sceneries alongside a continuation of his intriguing experimentation with conceptual writings.

Inspired by landscapes or historical relics in the North of Vietnam like Tản Viên Mountain or Hoàn Kiếm Lake or Phủ Giày and by lingering memories and symbols associated with countryside folktales, like the betel nut, spinach fences, the shadow of a buffalo or a village hall, originating from the Red River Delta, Huy An’s conceptual texts work as a visual archive of his memories and histories that relate to the social and political context of Northern Vietnam.

The vague, hopeless yet unquestionably determined acts described with every single sentence manifests the artist’s nostalgia for the old days as well as a melancholic irony as a response to the fast change of the country.

Free Entry
