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.
