EXHIBITION
Hanoi-PLAY – Visual Experiment by Nguyen Ngoc Vu
Exhibition: Mar 30 – Apr 6, 10 am – 5 pm
Six Space, 6th floor, 94B Tran Hung Dao, Hoan Kiem District
A visual experiment by Nguyen Ngoc Vu.
Nguyen Ngoc Vu (born in 1991) is known as The Rabbit Boy (Cau Be Tho) for his Origami works and other projects that combine Origami and technology such as graphic and video design. This exhibition is the result of more than a year Vu started to have interest in Tuong (Vietnamese classical opera) and develop his concepts. Vu would love to learn and explore the cultural and historical values, which gradually fall into oblivion, and tried to express them through his youthful and artistic approach to bring these forgotten values closer to the audience, especially young people.
Hanoi-Exhibition “Fairy” by Artist Do Hiep
Dong Phong Art Gallery, 3 Ly Dao Thanh Street
The ten circular paintings displayed in “Fairy” represent Hiep’s first experiments with rice paper (do paper), asian lacquer, pearl shell and acrylic on wood. The artist is enamoured with pieces of glittering pearl shell pieces, profound drops of Asian lacquer, ancient flowers and floating clouds on rice paper.
Do Hiep was born in 1984 and gained an MA degree from the Vietamese Fine Arts University in 2012. He has participatied in many group exhibitions at home and abroad. He is the recipient of several awards from the Vietnamese Fine Art Association. “Fairy” is his second solo exhibition.
Hanoi-Art Exhibition “In Door” by Nguyen Ngoc Quan
Apr 1 – 14
KE QUÁN, 81b Xuan Dieu, Hanoi
A door has always been the coin of life. However, what happens behind it is something about the world of deep inner beings. We could have the freedom to act on our own instincts, on the other hand, it means we could completely get back to our most natural state of being.
“In door” is an outstanding collection of woodcut artworks which would bring us to the other world behind the door… Somewhere could surprisingly get us discovering ourselves.
Hanoi-Solo Exhibition “Primary” by Artist Hoang Duy Vang
Vietnam Fine Arts Museum, 66 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street
The solo exhibition “Primary” by artist Hoang Duy Vang features fifteen oil paintings composed by the artist from 2012-2016.
Hanoi-“SLAMtho—Poetic Labyrinth”
Institut Français de Hanoi—L’Espace, 24 Trang Tien Street, Hoan Kiem District
“SLAMtho” gives a unique experience of discovering original poems written by francophone Vietnamese students during the first-ever poetry slam in Vietnam. The centerpiece of the exhibition, a labyrinth, takes visitors to explore its mazes, similar to a poet wandering in his words, searching for meaning and sensation.
Scenographer: Amélie Codugnella-Cerise
Soundtrack: Arnaud Soulier
