EXHIBITIONS

Hanoi-”Sense” – Solo Exhibition by Sculptor Luong Van Viet

exhibition sense-luong van viet 1

Opening: June 5, 6.30 pm
Exhibition: Jun 6 – Jul 5
Manzi Art Space, 14 Phan Huy Ich Street
 

“Sense” acts as an invitation for the audience to come into contact with the work using all of their senses. They can, for example, walk around and/or through the work, look at them from afar, or come closer and pick them up for a more intimate inspection.

Luong Van Viet, 39, graduated from the Vietnam University of Art in 2002 and is a famous sculptor in Hanoi.

Using minimal shapes and colours to create a sophisticated and elegant contrast, Viet’s works explore and push boundaries between spaces and forms, revealing the philosophy of coexistence and human existentialism.

Hanoi-Long Bien Market Photo Exhibition

The exhibition displays the best pictures from three years of our early morning Long Bien Sunrise photo adventure. With the guidance of Vietnam in Focus tour leader and professional photographer Colm Pierce, participants have captured all aspects of Hanoi’s biggest goods market at dawn.

From conical-hatted couriers to traders bargaining over their wares, and stunning panoramas shots from Long Bien Bridge, the exhibition vividly documents this bustling market in its prime.
