HCMC-Exhibition “8♡” by Truc-Anh
Galerie Quynh, 118 Nguyen Van Thu Street, District 1
For his third solo exhibition at the gallery, Truc-Anh tells a complex and nuanced story of transformation and awakening.
The title of the show exemplifies these dynamics, as a reference to the video games of Truc-Anh’s childhood, while also alluding to metaphysical dimensions.
In particular, the symmetrical number eight – representing a perfect loop and infinity – appears in many of the works, while references to rebirth, healing and impermanence, interspersed with images of the ego, vanity and conceit, are also prevalent.
HCMC- Exhibition “In One’s Breath – Nothing Stands Still” by Tuan Mami
The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre, 15 Nguyen U Di, Thao Dien, District 2

The project is inspired by the ancient Muong epic ‘De Dat De Nuoc’ (‘The Birth of Soil and Water’), from which emerges a belief that there is spirituality in all beings, that the creation of the world is constantly in a state of chaos where humans struggle to cohabit harmoniously with other creatures, and especially with themselves.
