Heading towards the 50th anniversary of the Japan – Vietnam diplomatic relation establishment, in the context where the relation between the two countries are seeing unprecedented growth both horizontally and vertically, Plando Vietnam and charity organisations hold the classical concert “Music night for Vietnamese children”, aiming to promote cultural exchange between the two countries, with all profit from ticket sales and donations sent to the fund “Building schools for children in the mountainous areas of Vietnam”.

The concert is a collaboration between artists of Ryona Quartet and the bamboo ensemble Sức Sống Mới (New Life). Ryoma Quartet and its four members are famous artists from Japan. Ryoma Quartet hopes to bring Japanese culture to the world through the boundless language of music and build on the friendship between citizens of the countries. The quartet have held successful tours in Spain, Thailand, Malaysia, Bulgaria, South Korea, among others.

Sức Sống Mới bamboo ensemble is the only ethnic ensemble in Vietnam performing detailed composition arrangements for symphony, founded by conductor Đồng Quang Vinh. Their style of work is diverse, ranging from folk music, traditional music, and pop music to Western chamber music. Sức Sống Mới bamboo ensemble is one of a few ethnic ensembles in Vietnam to guest perform alongside leading symphony orchestras in Vietnam and the world. It is also honoured as an ensemble that inspires Vietnamese and international audiences in traditional arts.

Plando Vietnam hopes to welcome the support and attendance from music enthusiasts and benefactors through tickets and means of donations to achieve the goal of “Building schools for children in the mountainous areas of Vietnam”.

”Agnes’s New Planets”

27 Sep – 30 Oct
Mơ Art Space, B3 Floor, Apricot Hotel, 136 Hang Trong street, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi

Mo Art Space cordially invites art lovers to ‘Agnes’s New Planets’ – a solo showcase by artist Duong Thuy Duong. Where do we come from? How do we define ourselves? Are we the product that we created? These are the questions which Duong Thuy Duong wants, together with the viewers,to try to reflect in this exhibition.

Taking the novel “Immortality” by author Milan Kundera as the point of departure – a story about love, the creator and the world, Duong Thuy Duong began her journey by creating dream images that captivated her soul. From luminous, fluorescent landscapes, disobeying the physical and chemical rules to the constantly changing, redefining of human corporalities and identities, Duong Thuy Duong opens dialogues and expresses her point of view about the paradox of our evolution intertwining with the development of technologies.

Duong Thuy Duong (b. 1989) currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Inspired by surrealism and abstraction, Duong Thuy Duong’s paintings refer to the artist’s view of her identity, cultural transfer as well as daily life between two different worlds. Her solo exhibitions include “Nothing is like us” (2022) and “Where is Lucy” (2019) in Berlin, Germany, “My Agnes” at Eight Gallery, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (2016), “Seeing through the window” at Institut Francais, Hanoi, Vietnam (2015), “Seen by others” (2009) and “Coming then leaving” (2006) at Goethe Institute, Hanoi, Vietnam.

Duong Thuy Duong also participated in various group shows such as “Migration and Identity” at Goethe Institute, Hanoi, Vietnam (2016), “5 Female Asian artists” at Gallery Thavibu, Bangkok, Thailand (2012), “Fine Arts of Duong Thuy Duong & Michael Wernitz” at Opera House, Halle/Saale (2009), “10 Years” at the Cultural Center of Beyer, Leverkusen, Germany (2009), “Vietnam’s emerging generation” at Gallery Maya, London, United Kingdom (2009), “Village, City and Dreams” at Viet Art Centre, Hanoi, Vietnam (2006) and “Harvest” at Exhibition House of Halle/Saale, Germany (2006).

Mới/Seeing New(s)

SDIS 33/Handout L’Humanité
Until Oct 3, 07 am – 05 pm
Matca Space for Photography, 48 Ngoc Ha Street, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi

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.

Phương Hoàng is a visual narrator who grew up during the 1990s in Hanoi, Vietnam. She uses photography and multimedia approaches to document and share stories about social and environmental issues, focusing on the underprivileged. Adopting techniques from her journalism background, Phuong Hoang explores her subject matters conceptually and critically.

Hoang’s work has been exhibited in European Month of Photography, OFF Bratislava Photo Festival (Slovakia), “The Long Night at The Museum” Hamburg (Germany), CONTACT Photography Festival (Canada), Goethe Institut Hanoi (Vietnam), and Ada Slaight Gallery in Toronto (Canada).
