Hanoi-Exhibition “Falling into the Horizon” by Quách Bắc
Until Sep 15, 8 am – 10.30 pm
Manzi Art Space, 14 Phan Huy Ich Street
A solo exhibition by Quach Bac, one of the most potential contemporary artists in Hanoi today.
A series of small sized oil paintings and a site specific installation by visual artist Quách Bắc. The works reflect observations of absurd circumstances in Vietnam today, which he explores for traces of fear and hidden hopes.
Utilising both empty mono-coloured spaces and clearly defined subjects, Bắc provokes a host of emotions with his series of paintings. The figures on the canvas react to their absurd situations as if performing on a stage. By illustrating different aspects of life and a variety of contemporary issues in each of his pieces, regardless of format, Bắc conveys bite-sized satire, a rather pessimistic reading of the human condition and doubt for what modern society can tolerate.
Free Entrance
Hanoi-Exhibition “Streets vendors and street cries of Hanoi”
Institut Français de Hanoi – L’Espace, 24 Trang Tien Sreet

A beautiful combination of old-fashioned photos, sound effects and graceful drawings that fill the air with nostalgia

Hanoi- Exhibitions “In the City” and “Long Lasting Dreams”
Exhibition: Sep 10 – Oct 16 , 10 am – 8 pm
Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA)
B1 – R3, Vincom Mega Mall Royal City
72A Nguyen Trai, Thanh Xuan District,
Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA) simultaneously opens 2 solo exhibitions introducing two prominent 80s-born artists of the Vietnam’s art scene: “Long Lasting dreams” by Bui Quoc Khanh and “In the City” by Doan Xuan Tung.
“Long Lasting dreams” consists of 9 paintings on canvas – the latest works of Bui Quoc Khanh, created in 2019. Of social criticism, cultural, environmental, educational issues, and a visual language influenced by pop-art and graphic design, Bui Quoc Khanh’s paintings depict a vibrant space overflowed popular metaphorical images of from ancient times to the modern age, from the West to the East. The motifs, the regal, flamboyant, materialistic images all across the canvas show the artist’s satirical perception of today’s society.
“In the City” is Doan Xuan Tung’s first solo exhibition, showcasing 12 works using acrylic and newspaper as medium on canvas. This series of works was finished in 4 years, from 2016 to 2019, reflecting the artist’s interest in the city life. The exhibition focuses on two main storylines: on the one hand, the daily life of city migrant workers, on the other hand, the lives of the emerging middle class – enjoying the utility of new residence areas. At the same time when these people were at ease, others are working to exhaustion, that is the contradicting yet inseparable reality of the city life.
