This is also an opportunity for us to share more of the artworks we have, and the stories behind their creations, as well as to reach beyond many boundaries of emotions, and provide a more intimate, instinctive, and primitive view of art.

Kia non non, nuoc nuoc, may may: Solo exhibition by Ha Manh Thang

Until Feb 4, 10 am – 07 pm Tues-Sat
Holiday hours: closing at 03 pm on 24 Dec; closed 25 & 26 Dec and 31 Dec 2022 – 2 Jan 2023
29 – 31 Ton That Thiep Street, D.1, HCMC

A solo exhibition by Ha Manh Thang featuring 16 experimental works that illustrate the artist’s continued fascination with materiality, time, and the excavation of history and cultural heritage.

The exhibition title borrows from ‘Hương Sơn Phong Canh Ca’ (Huong Son Landscape Song) by the renowned Nguyen Dynasty intellectual Chu Mạnh Trinh. The poem encapsulates well the complexity of emotions when one is confronted by the magnificence of nature. The same sentiment can also be observed in Thắng’s artistic practice. Over the years he has focused on exploring the polysemic nature of landscape, and the evolution of viewing landscape in art from ancient times up to the present.

Every Bilious Honeymoon

Dec 30, 2022 – Jan 15, 2023

Sat – Sun: 10 am – 06 pm
Á Space, Alley 59 Ngo Gia Tu Street, Long Bien District, Hanoi

‘Every Bilious Honeymoon’ closely ties in with what was said above. Like the first-stroke sense of cubism, it resembles a post-confession state in which one begins to toil over collecting and gathering bits and pieces, in less of an unintentional manner and more of a hopeful state hinging upon the possibilities of something that is to be soon born out through means of restoration.

Such acts of restoration would work at times and would not at others, or only serve as an admission of a broken fact right off the nose. Most realistically, one should prepare at least for a known-to-be-magic 502 glue bottle, and hope that it would be of use? When unscrewing the lid’s can, what we see most often is “Good luck next time”, and that next time actually exists.
