Using rice cultivation as a metaphor to appreciate the farmers’ dedication, from the misty dawn in the fields and the hardship and will power to rise up from the humble muddy soil and brace storms, until the moment they arrive joyously like shining pearls at harvest.

The Mist is an hour of emotions, with a myriad of ups and downs, painted by sensational live music, splendid visuals, and colorful lighting effects.

Hanoi-The Lacquer Story: Dialogue “Cua Vong”



Cuci Art Studio, 2nd floor, 25 Hang Bun street, Ba Dinh district

Showcasing lacquer artworks inspired by cua vong, the decorative door frames at places of worship, by eight contemporary artists including Nguyen Truong Linh, Nguyen Hong Phuong and Cong Quoc Thang.

Widely known – especially in the north – cua vong is a special decorative object found in sacred worship spaces. It is a door frame divided into three parts. The right and left parts are attached to a pair of columns, close to the pair of phrases or text on the horizontal lacquered panel above.

12 paintings and two installations on display illuminate the historic aesthetic of lacquer through time by creating a dialogue between the medium of lacquer and cua vong

Hanoi-Exhibition “Plastic Planet”

Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA), B1 - R3, Vincom Mega Mall Royal City, 72A Nguyen Trai street, Thanh Xuan District

Six giant artworks on display bring to the community the message of mindful use of plastic and limiting the negative effect it has to the environment.

Participating artists have meticulously and elaborately built 6 installations, sculptures, and interaction works named: Ocean; Field; Tornado; Shelter; Secret box; Family. The works are made from used plastic products such as straws, nylon, water bottles, household appliances.

All create a world of colourful plastic art, but also a prompt and much needed reminder of the real world where plastic is ubiquitous: in nature, in daily life, in and on our bodies, in life of all creatures including humans.

HCMC-Exhibition “am sang” by Nguyen Huy An


Galerie Quynh, 118 Nguyen Van Thu street, Dakao ward, District 1

Am sang, a phrase invented by the artist, communicates a sensation of light, shadows, and reflections. While sang is translated as ‘light’, am refers to yin (the female principle in nature) and suggests the spiritual world.

In “am sang”, Huy An finds inspiration in the rich folk and religious traditions of Northern Vietnam – scavenging relics, curiosities and memories from temple sites, theatres and distinguished actors.

HCMC-Exhibition “Phenomenon ÷ (Time x Space)”


VinGallery, 6 Le Van Mien, Thao Dien, District 2,

Yohei Yama returns to Vin Gallery with his second solo project with the gallery, four years after “The Power of Semiosis” (2015). Yama derives his works from nature, spinning the waves of the cosmos and webbing together the rhythm of natural forces. His oeuvre is distinguishable by its repetition and layering of lines, colours, patterns and more often than not creating optical effects that swell and vibrate.

“Phenomenon ÷ (Time x Space)” envisions the universe and it’s life-cycles where the future becomes the present and the present becomes the past.
