EXHIBITION
HCMC-đến đền den
Showcase: Until Oct 31, 11 am – 06 pm, Tues – Sat,
Sàn Art, B6.17&16, Millennium Masteri, D4,
From the organizer:
Đền (temple) is a sacred place that signifies a rigid hierarchy between the giver and the taker. Similarly, churches, chapels, shrines, and altars represent the hierarchical power of faith, with a mortal human looking up and begging a divine entity. Den, on the other hand, is a private room for introspection that circulates around an individual. Striding “đền” and “den”, a temple is also a den, Việt Lê and Sàn Art is pleased to invite you in our obscured room where guests are not allowed to confidently walk into but must engage with the space to contemplate/question faith and holes inside our bodies.
Until Sep 15

Hanoi-Exhibition “The Fire in my Belly”
Until Sep 22, 09 am – 08 pm,

From the organizer:
Featuring artworks by Vuong Thao (1969, Hanoi), Dao Tan (1991, Hanoi) and Koa Pham (1993, HCMC).
Originating from contemplative emotions simmering within, artists Vuong Thao, Dao Tan, and Koa Pham convey their reflections on the social landscape through natural materials, undergoing multiple transformations to rediscover their primordial states: stone, charcoal, wood, water. Their works stand out due to the artists’ unique approaches while sharing an intriguing commonality: the interaction between artistic craft and the transformative processes of nature. – Excerpts from curatorial text by Nguyen Hai Nam.
Until Sep 21, 10 am – 07 pm, Tues – Sat,
Galerie Quynh, 118 Nguyen Ven Thu Street, D1,
From the organizer:
A solo exhibition by Vy Trịnh, curated by Thái Hà. Showcasing a series of new sculptures spread across three floors as well as a site-responsive sculptural installation, the artist’s first show with the gallery blurs the distinction between its exhibition rooms and the streets and pavements just beyond the gallery’s courtyard.
