EXHIBITIONHanoi-Exhibition « Is it necessary to have a name…”
Heritage Space, 1st Floor, Dolphin Plaza, 6 Nguyen Hoang street / 28 Tran Binh street, Nam Tu Liem district
An anonymous art exhibition showcasing the works by an artist group that belongs to the second generation of Vietnamese contemporary arts.
The exhibition presents ways of perceiving the world in different states of reflection and questioning with the anonymity of the artworks’ authors. Not deliberately hiding their identity, or simulating the traditional ‘anonymous’ spirit.

HCMC-Exhibition “Chapter 4: Days and Nights of Revolving Joy” by Sandrine Llouquet
Galerie Quynh, 118 Nguyen Van Thu, Dakao, District 1
Borrowing a line from “The Four Zoas”, an unfinished book of mythic poems by William Blake, the exhibition’s title reflects the continuous and elaborate journey of learning and discovery for the artist.
The exhibition unveils newly produced works incorporating ceramics, installation, and video that delve into the ideas of identity and division, recurrent themes in Llouquet’s practice.
The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre, 15 Nguyen U Di, Thao Dien, District 2
Featuring 15 artists from Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, China and the UK, curated by The Factory and Inlen Photo Gallery.
This exhibition seeks to engage the behaviour and consequence of thinking that machines have become the ‘Nature’ we study and prioritise. It examines the current times in which we live, sharing the work of artists who are both in awe, and critical, of the patterns, substance, psychological relations and historical fictions between assumptions of Nature and the Machine.
