Tita Art, 164A Tran Vu Street, Ba Dinh District
From the organizer:
As its name suggests, Neoclassical music (around 1750 – 1820) harks back to the structured, balanced, and moderate beauty of classic art. If you were at SiaM Vol. 2: Classical Viennese School, you probably remember the elegant and graceful melodies composed by Mozart, Haydn, and other musicians representative of this period. Refined and cultivated through discipline, their music reaches a level of beauty as close to perfection as can be, and is considered a high standard for later generations to aspire to.
HCM City - Vietnamese artworks through the ages
Until Oct 2,
HCM City Fine Arts Museum

The ancient artworks are shown in 49 pieces of ceramic with a variety of enamel colours and pattern designs from the 12th to the 20th century. In addition, each item serves a purpose, such as for household usage (wine jugs, tea pots), for religion (censers, incense burners), or for decoration (Nghê statue). Each of them reflects the vitality of ceramic art through the ages.
The modern art artifacts include 103 works of art in sculpture, painting, and sketches, from 1939 to 2021, through notable artists of many generations, which represent a variety of art styles.

Opening: Sep 21, 05 pm
Display: Sep 22 & 23, 08:30 am – 05 pm
Student Gallery, Vietnam University of Fine Arts, 42 Yet Kieu Street
From the organzier:
Public space is full of people and thus full of uses, demands and requirements. Accordingly, a place in the city is never a white canvas of free possibilities, but confronted with expectations and also conflicts. Over the past 6 weeks, the students of the final year of the sculpture department of the Vietnam University of Fine Arts have faced this clash of different interests in public space and developed artistic projects that deal with this complexity and bundle it into a specific quality. 9 proposals for public art in the city squares of Hoan Kiem are presented.

From the organizer:
2021 has seen the French news agenda sandwiched between COVID lockdowns and President Macron’s re-election. A Reuters’ report from late January to early February 2022 shows most news brands have decreased static news consumption and trust.
“Seeing New(s)” by Phuong Hoang constructs a visual dialogue, combining images from local media and her own photographs with a touch of humour. She questions the importance of delivering messages via pictures in newsrooms when audiences are visually flooded by social media daily.
Until Sep 30,
The Temple of Literature,
An exhibition named “Calligraphy – Graffiti Dialogue” featuring 39 works of calligraphy and graffiti by Vietnamese calligraphers and graffiti artists across the country.
