Exhibition “Destination IV – Sprouting” by female artists from Vietnam and Malaysia

Opening: Wed 26 Aug 2015, 6 pm

Exhibition: 26 Aug – 03 Sep 2015

Hanoi Old Quarter cultural exchanges Centre

50 Dao Duy Tu, Hanoi

The contemporary art exhibition “Destination IV – Sprouting”, includes more than 30 art pieces of 4 female artists of Malaysia and 5 Vietnamese ones. All of them have

become remarkable artists in their countries, trying to make the new series for the first – ever female exhibition of Malaysia and Vietnam.

The Malaysian female artists focus on the topics which are seemingly outside individuals each but actually very intimate to everyone, to all the human beings: climate

change, Mother Nature, feminism and the empowerment of women in a society in which many gender stereotypes exist. Thereby, they express their own feelings and living

attitudes, though how strong they are but still remain in their minds and hearts the natural femininity, love of beauty and humanity. Viewers also have the opportunity to learn

about diverse forms of Malaysian visual art through this exhibition: from graphics to painting, sculpture and installation art.

The Vietnamese female artists in this exhibition, incidentally, are all devoted to painting materials with Eastern traditions like silk (1 artist), lacquer (3 artists), graphics (1 artist). The art themes in their works have been inspired by their individual stories, inner feelings and hidden psychological issues but through which somewhat greater issues of the social life are reflected.

List of artists in “Destination IV – Sprouting”:

– Christine Das (painting)

– Kok Lee Fong (Jasmine) (sculpture, print-makings)

– Lisa Foo (installation)

– Yante Ismail (painting)

– Hiền Nguyễn (lacquer painting)

– Đoàn Thị Thu Hương (lacquer painting)

– Nguyễn Thu Hương (silk painting)

– Vũ Bạch Liên (print-makings)

– Ngô Hải Yến (lacquer painting)

Take a look at some of the artworks in “Destination I” and “Destination II”.

From the organizer:

US comic, Matt Davis, will perform two nights of stand-up comedy in Vietnam.

Travelling to both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi as part of the Southeast Asian leg of his grander than not-so-grand world tour, Matt Davis is a veteran touring performer with

over 1 million YouTube views and gigs in nine US armed forces bases under his extensively armed belt.

Matt’s dirty but intelligent humour has seen him earn Top 10 accolades with Cracked Magazine and has taken him to repeat performances in more countries than you can

count on two hands, and more cities than you can put on this planet. TV performances, guest spots on Mars, big festival appearances and too many groupies to remember

have followed in his wake, as has the point of this whole lark: lots and lots of laughter.

“Encounter” Presents Lectures by N’Goné Fall on African Contemporary Art

Pan African Dreams: Thu 27 Aug 2015, 6.30 pm

Exploring African History, Geography and Politics through art projects: Fri 28 Aug 2015, 6.30 pm

Marie Curie Room – 6th Floor

Hoa Sen University

8 Nguyen Van Trang, Dist 1, HCMC

In her first talk, curator N’Goné Fall will describe the culture and contemporary art of Africa through the dream of an integrated continent – “a site of negotiation” for various, complex cultures. Africa has 54 countries, all but Ethiopia have suffered from colonial domination. After multiple annexations by the colonial powers, Africa has undergone geographical fragmentation, its countries using arts and culture as a tool for nation building and continental integration. Many intellectuals have been implementing the Pan-African ideology in their artistic productions – the intercontinental ideology and movement within Africa. From such inspiration, N’Goné will present emblematic artists who used Pan Africanism as a concept as well as some of the art projects that she and her colleagues have realised in Dakar (Senegal) to look at the countries and the continent through the prism of history, geography and politics.

In the second lecture, curator N’Goné Fall will share with the audience the antecedents, challenges, and stakes of African contemporary art. The continent’s culture has always been viewed under “African stereotype”, especially those imposed from Western perspectives. This obsolete “heritage” burdens and hinders the artistic and cultural producers. Then what would they do? N’Goné will present a series of profound and interesting examples by artists from diverse African countries, ones who reflect the history, the present and the future of Africa through visual art. Their projects are not confined within the boundaries of modernism but live, move, and breath with the contemporaneity.

*Entrance is free. English – Vietnamese translation will be provided.

N’Goné Fall participates in “Encounter”, a lecture series which is part of a large artistic endeavour called “Conscious Realities”, initiated and organized by San Art in partnership with Prince Claus Fund.

Exhibition “em|body” by Doan Hoang Lam

Opening: Fri 21 Aug 2015, 6 pm

Exhibition: 21 Aug – 20 Sep 2015

Manzi Art Space

14 Phan Huy Ich, Hanoi

This fall Manzi is pleased to present “em|body”, an exhibition of both new and never before seen works by Doãn Hoàng Lâm. A Vietnam University of Fine Arts graduate, Lâm belongs to one of the previous generations of academically-trained artists whose talents were endured and pushed to the limit by the then highly-demanding art education system, and is now considered one of Hanoi’s most accomplished painters.

With a sense of naturalness of an artist and a disciplined mindset of an artisan, Lâm approaches each painting medium with sensitivity and clarity, utilizing its intrinsic vocabulary and qualities as the foundation for the formation of his ideas and experimentations, and an instrument to communicate his thoughts and mental states. In his works, lacquer would often be associated with depth, silk with delicacy, oil paint with fullness, watercolor with lightness and so on. For Lâm, to conduct a thorough practice with the most primary skills like sketching and life drawing, and to have a clear understanding of the most basic things like how to handle a particular paint and how to choose which brush to use, is as important as to continuously explore and refine his thought-, reflection- and creation-process. They both help to form the visual language and express the artistic vision that defines Lâm and separates him from his contemporaries.

Comprising four lacquer and five oil on canvas, “em|body” transforms the walls of Manzi into windows looking out into landscapes that are both cosmic and intimate, recalling images of the galaxy whilst revealing sensuous properties of the human body. The partially rendered human-like shapes look as if they are hovering in space, or emerging from behind the surface. Sometimes vulnerable and concealed, they have their backs to us; but mostly confrontational and powerful, they stare straight ahead, with their bare skin, disembodied figures and provoking positions all on display. Somewhere in this strange galaxy we see snippets resembling body parts: a twisted knee, a sagging breast, a deformed head, contorted limbs or spreading legs. Distorted and exaggerated, the body is repeatedly abstracted through the artist’s manipulations of forms and shifts in scales, acting as much a symbol of desire and a celebration of beauty as an object of fetish and an embodiment of violence. Here, the familiar has been made uncanny. Just a degree or two away from reality, we are left in an uncomfortable position, our senses toyed with, and our perceptions of affection/abjection, normality/abnormality, morality/immorality disrupted and questioned.

Free entrance.

Thuy has a cynical feeling about life. What she sees is only the tip of the iceberg, and the beauty that she observes is seemingly not itself.

Everything appears to follow a certain order which has been created to control and arrange rules aimed at establishing an organised and disciplined society.

She expresses these cynical feelings about order through the placement and composition of the animals she paints, such as fish, birds, and dogs.

She placed these animals in a large, empty and flat spatial composition to express her confusion among the individuals and also the group.

environments and gives the workers a voice by incorporating their personal belongings into the artwork.

Arts in Beijing. Since 2012 the artist has been working as a lecturer at the University of Fine Arts Vietnam and has been represented in many group and solo exhibitions. His
