EXHIBITION
Hanoi- Exhibition “No & Meaning” by Nguyen Minh Thanh
Manzi Art Space, 14 Phan Huy Ich street, Ba Dinh street

A collaborated project throughout 6 months between Le Giang and Sino-Nom researcher Nguyen Dinh Hung, vernacular architect Pham Thanh Thuy and environmental consultant Nguyen Thuy Duong on communal houses in Northern Vietnam and the Red River’s water flow.
Regarding these spiritual relics’ disappearances, the exhibition boasts a question in connection with the ability of traversing oneself within the present while visualising about the future. While there have yet a definite answer for such a task, the quest of unearthing these artefacts shall be carried onwards tactfully.

The exhibition focuses on the mental concept of traditionalism and modernity with an aim to realize that the world has always been miraculous, loving and brand-new. This is the chance for audience to see and appreciate the artworks by the two artists, as well as preserving and promoting Vietnamese contemporary art to local and international publics.

HCMC-Exhibition “Empty Forest” by Tuan Andrew Nguyen
The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre, 15 Nguyen U Di, Thao Dien, District 2
A solo exhibition showcasing film, sculpture, photography and performance – revealing a landscape where the industry of ailing spiritual beliefs is feeding the most wretched of human desires, to irreversible effect.
For this premiere showcase, Tuan Andrew Nguyen will transform the ground floor main hall into a menagerie of animalistic forms, a kind of large-scale diorama where the voice of the endangered sits on the edge of extinction (or in particular case has already teetered into oblivion).
