Showcasing eighteen archival prints of the paintings/posters produced by the celebrated Cuban graphic artist René Mederos Mederos (died in 1996) between 1969 and 1972, during his two visits to Vietnam.

Hanoi-Exhibition “Gesture of Memories” by Florian Nguyen
L’Espace, 24 Trang Tien street, Hoan Kiem district
The French-Vietnamese artist Florian Nguyen (born in 1988) moved to HCMC in 2016 where he developed a visual art project consisting mainly of works drawn in black and white and installations. His drawings are characterized by great precision in drawing lines, from the drawing on paper to the monumental fresco.
HCMC- Exhibition “Echoing Scars” by Thierry Bernard-Gotteland
Galerie Quynh, Level 2, 151/3 Dong Khoi, District 1
Featuring artworks by the French mixed-media artist Thierry Bernard-Gotteland. With “Echoing Scars”, Bernard-Gotteland examines the dichotomy between the universal and the individual, between rules of nature and man’s free will.
HCMC- Solo Exhibition “Poetic Amnesia” by Phan Thao Nguyen
The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre, 15 Nguyen U Di, Thao Dien, District 2.
An exhibition realized during Phan Thao Nguyen's time spent participating in the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative as a protégé in visual arts to acclaimed American performance and video artist Joan Jonas.
HCMC- Duo show ‘Figures, forms, contraptions’ by Thy Tran and Regis Golay
Dia Projects, Ground Floor, Saigon Domaine, 1057 Binh Quoi Street, Ward 28, Binh Thanh District
In "Figures, forms, contraptions", Thy’s work occupies the larger gallery space, with each picture wall-mounted. Some photos give a stronger association than others, but they can only be individually viewed.
Meanwhile, Regis’ exhibit is much more unified. Videos play in loops, on screens of various sizes, grouped together on one wall—an animated collage, contrasting the solitude of Thy’s people with Regis’ unified mechanisms.
