EXHIBITION
Hanoi- Exhibition “Empathy Architecture”
Nanoco gallery, 83 Lang street,
The exhibition will display the most recent works by V-Architecture. The architects will share their experiences, which will help audience to understand more about the application of empathy in architecture, or how architecture will become a way of empathizing with people.
In particular, during the exhibition, there will be the book launching of “Kien truc xanh Viet Nam” (“Green Architecture in Vietnam”) on 28 Oct. This is a book researched and written by architect Le Luong Ngoc and other authors, aiming to share the most basic and fundamental knowledge on “Green architecture” designing that has been applied in Vietnam.
Free entry
Hanoi- Exhibition “West Lake” by Anna-Maria Ory
Dong Phong Art Gallery, 03 Ly Dao Thanh Street
The subject and technique of the pictures mix the elements of both Eastern and Western traditions, in an attempt to establish connections between two very different cultures which nevertheless have a lot in common.
Hanoi-Exhibition “Gang of Five, Chancing Modern”
Vietnam Film Studio, No. 4 Thuy Khue Street
The Gang of Five, members Hong Viet Dung, Ha Tri Hieu, Dang Xuan Hoa, Tran Luong and Pham Quang Vinh hold an esteemed position in the history of fine art in Vietnam’s post-Doi Moi (Reform) era. They emerged in the early 80’s as Vietnam was struggling to rebuild after decades of war. Five male artists bound by friendship and a passion to express themselves freely without constraint, with a hope for the future that in the past was inconceivable, they pursued their dreams and consequentially inspired others to follow.
The exhibition site takes place at the Vietnam Film Studio where the new works of the artists will be presented along with a collection of archival materials highlighting a journey that traces their aesthetic development; the unique separate-togetherness that sustained the Gang of Five; the social environment that might have contributed to their acclaim while at the same time concealed their practices from thorough art historical discourse.
HCMC- Exhibition “Spirit of Friendship”
The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre, 15 Nguyen U Di, Thao Dien, District 2,
A survey exhibition highlights the role and contribution of artist friendships in furthering the development of experimental art practice in Vietnam, since 1975, featuring 22 artist-groups from across the country.
Tickets:
For adults: VND35,000
For students: VND25,000 (with appropriate student ID)
For children under 16: free (with appropriate ID)
Entry is free on the opening night.
HCMC- Exhibition “Abandoned by Heaven” by Bui Thanh Tam
Craig Thomas Gallery, 27(i) Tran Nhat Duat, Tan Dinh Ward, District 1
A solo exhibition of oil and Đông Hồ folk paintings on canvas by Hanoi-based artist Bui Thanh Tam.
At first glance, the paintings of Bùi Thanh Tâm’s “Abandoned by Heaven” collection project an air of innocence and a pollyanish sense of contentment. The doe-eyed figures in the paintings look to be in the midst of living happy and prosperous lives, but there is something amiss lying just underneath the surface of the paintings.
HCMC-Exhibition “Paradise Lost” by Hoang Thanh Vinh Phong
The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre, 15 Nguyen U Di, Thao Dien, District 2
Featuring a world where the familiar is made strange, the mundane mythologised and the symbolic re-arranged. Through the shifting of shape and twisting of material, images and objects from the everyday are taken out of context, heightened with a sense of ambiguity, asking us to look beyond what our first glance has to offer.
Tickets:
For adults: VND 35,000
For students: VND 25,000 (with appropriate student ID)
For children under 16: free (with appropriate ID)
Entry is free on the opening night.
