Famous VN artist exhibits at Manzi Art Space
One of the most famous contemporary artists in the country, Nguyen Manh Hung is presenting his 3D installations collectively titled One Planet. It features Hung’s new sculptural installations and a series of paintings called We’ve Been Here.
Drawing from his own personal history of growing up in a cramped, old city apartment block, Hung reflects on the idea of community, the conflicts that exist within and without constructed societies and the complexities of civic development and individual responsibility.
The show follows the 37-year-old artist’s grand diorama Living Together in Paradise, in the seventh Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art in Brisbane, Australia. This installment was first in 2011 in Ha Noi at the Goethe Institute where it was enormously popular with visitors.
The exhibition is open until July 28, 14 Phan Huy Ich Street, Ha Noi.-VNS
