EXHIBITION
Hanoi-Exhibition “Sparkling – Collection of Lacquered and Gilded Wood Objects”
Vietnam National Museum of History, 1 Trang Tien street, Hoan Kiem district
Introducing nearly 100 documents and objects dating from the Le and Nguyen dynasties (from 17th to the early of 20th century) – the brilliant development stage of lacquering and gilding industry – including the unique and rare ones showed to the public for the first time.
The objects selected for display are quite rich and varied on designs with unique decorative patterns.
With the fine carving, the shade of the red paint, the light of gold and the vividly decorative themes, the lacquered and gilded wood objects are always attached to solemn sites like royal palaces or places of worship. Furthermore, they are considered as artworks or holy objects.
Hanoi-Exhibition “The Multiverse”
Heritage Space, 1st Floor, Dolphin Plaza
6 Nguyen Hoang (for car) | 28 Tran Binh (for bike), My Dinh 2, Nam Tu Liem district
Featuring work from 23 finalists of Dogma Prize 2017, including Bang Nhat Linh, Bui Công Khanh, Bui Thanh Tang, Chau Le Hoang Gia, and Chu Ngoc Van, among others.
Hanoi-Exhibition “Raffaello: Opera Omnia”
Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, Nguyen Van Huyen Street, Cau Giay District,
Featuring 35 digital artworks of one of the most prominent Italian painters of the XV-XVI century: Raffaello Sanzio, Raphaël.
HCMC-Exhibition “Then I Can Turn The World Upside Down”
Salon Saigon, 6D Ngo Thoi Nhiem, Ward 7, District 3
An exhibition of works on paper by five Vietnam-based contemporary artists. Each in their own subjective way, Le Hoang Bich Phuong, Mai Hoang, Nguyen Manh Hung, Florian Nguyen and Hoang Nam Viet explore the myriad possibilities inherent in the medium of drawing to create imaginary realities evoking the subconscious.
With their ink and paper, the artists create visions of hidden beauty and reinterpretations of the world, revealing quasi-hallucinatory perspectives on an otherwise too familiar landscape.
HCMC-Exhibition “The Picture Will Still Exist”
Dia Projects, 2nd Floor, 103 Dong Khoi Str, Dist 1,
Featuring photographs, paintings and video works selected from Post Vidai Collection. The exhibition showcases eight established and emerging Vietnamese artists and collective, including Dinh Q. Le, Hoang Duong Cam, Howard Henry Chen, Le Quy Tong, Ngoc Nau, Phuong Linh, The Propeller Group and Vo An Khanh.
A number of artworks, such as Dinh Q. Le’s WTC in four moments (2014), The Propeller Group’s AK-47 vs. M16 (2015) and Phuong Linh’s Sanctified Clouds (2012-2015), are on display for the first time to Vietnamese public at the exhibition.
HCMC-Group Exhibition “I, Me, Mine”

A group exhibition by Tran Kim Hoa, Do Nguyen Lap Xuan, Hoang Nam Viet, Xuan Ha (Grandmadeadxh) and Yatender, curated by Shyevin S’ng and Le Thien Bao.
The concept of ‘the self’ forms a recurrent strand throughout history. Reaching back tens of thousands of years into human history, cave paintings and petroglyphs (such as Chauvet Cave, Ardèche Valley, in France), show the roots of our innate desire to understand who we are.
Tickets: For adults: VND35,000 - For students: VND 25,000 (with appropriate student ID) - For children under 16: free (with appropriate ID)
