From the organizer:
What thoughts does the name of SiaM vol. 26 conjure up for you? Though they seem to have no connection to one another whatsoever, it’s sometimes the leaps that you’re encouraged to take when trying to figure out they were put together that can lead you to vivid and irresistibly exciting worlds. Much like children listening to the grand tales of a charming, wise, and surprisingly humorous amateur storyteller down the street, these leaps leave you wide-eyed with wonder while your mind wanders off to a realm where the wind brings with it conversations and whispers, where a pair of chopsticks pluck out delicate images and drop them into the sunlight, where a group of cacti giggles from the tickles that someone seems to be giving them.

EXHIBITIONHCMC-Exhibition “Neverwhere”
Jun 13-Aug 5, Tues – Sat, 10 am – 07 pm
Galerie Quynh, 118 Nguyen Van Thu, D1
From the organizer:
In the vast expanse of the universe, we find ourselves in an infinitesimally small space, encountering endless mysteries that defy our understanding. Throughout history, artists and scientists alike have been captivated by the idea of parallel realities. Drawing inspiration from quantum mechanics, string theory, and avant-garde art movements, Neverwhere delves into the uncharted territories of the imagination, transcending conventional norms and questioning the limitations of our perception. The exhibition brings together six visionary artists – Nadege David, Cian Duggan, Sandrine Llouquet, Ngo Dinh Bao Chau, Trong Gia Nguyen, and Vo Tran Chau – who invite us on a mesmerizing journey through the intersections of art, science, and spirituality. The title “Neverwhere” borrows from the eponymous novel by Neil Gaiman that depicts an unseen world beneath the sewers – LondonBelow– where strange destinies await, suggesting the idea of a physical space that does not yet exist in time.
Hanoi-Exhibition “AMBER 3 Personality 1 Passion”
June 09 – 13

From the organizer:
A lacquer painting exhibition featuring more than 30 works by three talented artists, Claudie Van, Ekkehard Altenburger, and Dinh Ngoc Canh.
Amber, in English, can refer to both a color and a fossilized resin material with a yellow-brown tint that is often used as a gemstone and considered a precious material in Western art. Similarly, Vietnamese lacquer is also known for its intense color and luster, often referred to as “son ta” or “cockroach wings” in Vietnamese culture. Vietnamese lacquer painters use this material on various surfaces, such as painted surfaces or gold and silver layers, to produce different color effects, clarity, and shine.
