EXHIBITION
Hanoi- Month of Arts Practice 2022
From the organizer:
Month of Arts Practice (MAP) abbreviated as MAP, is an annual art project of Heritage Space. MAP was initiated and operated since 2015 with a view to creating a space for composing and developing contemporary art on the basis of cooperation and interaction among Vietnamese and international artists. Each year, MAP sets out a specific theme, inviting the participation of international acclaimed artists and curators come to Hanoi (Vietnam) to practice and exchange with talented young Vietnamese artists..
Month of Arts Practice 2022 – the 8th season of MAP continues with the WAR theme. Through discussion and art practice during their residency in Vietnam from October to December, artists together reflect, exchange, and present their premonitions about the wars from the past to present time by different perspectives and minor histories, about unknown entanglements, unnamed truths, and uncertain future in a volatile world. The work results will be presented to the public through Artist’s talk, especially during the Final Exhibition 2022 at the end of November in Hanoi.
There are 10 artists from Germany, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam participating in this project: Oscar Lebeck, Miho Shimizu, Bae Byung Wook, Ryusuke Ito, Sodam Lim, Nguyễn Minh Hoàng, Mi Fa, Jo Ngô & Lê Minh Châu and Lê Tú Anh. The project also has contributions and mentoring through lectures and exchanges from experts: curator Haruka Iharada (居原田遥), Dr. Pamela Nguyen Corey, curator Gahee Park, Prof. Dr. Nora Annesley Taylor, and guest artist Lê Nguyễn Duy Phương.
Month of Arts Practice 2022 is organized by Heritage Space in close cooperation with Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam, Korea Foundation, and with the support of the Vietnam Institutes for Cultural and Art Studies (VICAS), Á Space, Matca, APD Center for Art Patronage and Development, Nha San Collective, the Goethe-Institut, TÁCH Space, A sông, Hanoi Grapevine, Artplas and Art Republik Vietnam.

Hanoi-’The Four Subjects'
Until Nov 5, Tues – Sun, 11 am – 07 pm
Manzi Exhibition Space, 2 Ngo Hang Bun
From Manzi:
Manzi is proud to present ‘The Four Subjects’ – a new series of installations by visual artist Nguyễn Huy An, one of the most important figures of Vietnamese contemporary art.
For this comeback after three years (since his third solo show in Saigon), Huy An assembles an exclusive space for singular objects/relationships which would provoke an odd encounter of disparate subjects (they are essentially alien to each other and, at first sight, seemingly unfamiliar to the keen followers of Huy An’s art practices as well).
HCMC-Exhibition: Illuminated Curiosities

EMASI Nam Long
147 Street No.8, Nam Long Residential area, District 7,
EMASI Van Phuc

Hanoi-Exhibition “Inside the Garden”
Until Nov 15, 09 am – 08 pm
The Muse Artspace, 47 Trang Tien Street
From the organizer:
This lacquer painting series “Inside the Garden” is a project starting from early 2019. Artist Vu Van Tich once told us that 3-years is the minimum period that he needs to do preparation, due to the intricacies required in lacquer techniques. Perfecting this artistic medium can be challenging, even with years of experience. The exhibition is made possible thanks to the perseverance driven by passion and discipline of the artist. We have had many discussions regarding the essential techniques and unique values of lacquer – a material that’s mentioned in the book The Artistic Capital of Vietnamese Nation.
