Exhibition “The Numbers”
Opening: Sun 11 Dec, 5 pm
Exhibition: 11 Dec 2011 – 11 Jan 2011
New Space Arts Foundation, 2nd Floor, Number 15 Le Loi, Hue City
The project” The Numbers “ is done by Le Brothers Thanh & Hai along with enthusiastic volunteers team within two years from beginning of 2010 to the end of 2011.
Beside their names, it is added with the numbers which includes three art works :
- Bowls and chopsticks ( 1945) – Installation of 1945 bowls and chopticks painted with red lacquer and trimmed with gold
- Dorm Beds ( 1991) – Installation of 2 double-deck dorm beds ( 180cmx80cmx160cm)
- Into the sea (2011) – Three colour channel film video-art work, 59 minutes
1. Bowls and Chopsticks (1945)
We, our vietnamese people, always had unforgettable memories of the Autumn Revolution in 1945 full of greatest happiness, full of flowers and flags, victorious voices and colours. Nonetheless, before the August revolution in 1945, there were miseries and inconsolable grief of more than 2 million innocent people starved to death .
With no flags, no flowers, we commenmorate 2 million of “ten kinds of abandoned souls” on the streets on that darky days by bowls and chopsticks painted with red lacquer trimmed with gold and the numbers that reminds of our painful grief engraved in chronicles of our country.
We believe that if our grief is once commemorated , Our grief will do its mission of calling human being not repeating the disaster.
2. Dorm beds (1991)
Our memories of student life is double-storey beds in dorminoty is 1,8mx0,8m in area. Our bright and beautiful time mostly attached with these woody lanky beds in most of boorish and bare dorms. Those are not our missions and values in life. To us, those double-storey beds are the values in our memory.
2 double-deck beds are painted with red lacquer and are trimmed with gold along with dragon and phoenix patterns are born in our memory about beautiful, but poor of our young age. Our student life was in very reduced circumstances , but splendid time ever.
3. Into the sea ( 2011)
“ Two individulas are as one falling in line together; By multiple forms of presentation such as films, performances,and others of visual languages, once again, as artists, or as citizens, they are reminding us of comporting ourselves with high respect to our honored ancestors, to our native land, to current burning issues…of our mother country .The two of them who will never be an outsider of these occurrences of their fatherland. All are ready to show the flow goes naturally with contemporary arts in harmony. It does not need to be exaggerative, no need to be complex, or no need to be courteous either. It is as natural as the artist characteristic is.
We would not ignore another silent movement that every artist is involved to. They are trying hardly to dominate their breath-takings upon art horizon, slanders, and long lasting pains of creativeness. Those can be seen in every angle of actions to the whole of Thanh –Hai’s artwork.
All are ready for the departure to “ Chạm Tới Biển” .

A Writing Workshop with Scott Ezell
Sun 11 Dec 2011, 2 – 5 pm
Bookworm, 44 Chau Long, Hanoi
Have you ever felt your writing—whether in poems, stories, blog posts, or letters home—did not convey the richness, color, and flavor of your experience?
In this hands-on workshop, American poet Scott Ezell will lead participants through exercises to help make their writing about travel—or day-to-day life in a foreign land—more resonant, compelling, and evocative.
By the end of the workshop, each participant will have the rough draft of a new piece of writing. In Scott Ezell’s recent workshops in Beijing and Singapore, poems begun in the workshops were later published in literary journals.
Participants are not required to be native English speakers, but should have a fluent grasp of spoken and written English. Perfect grammar is not required, nor will grammar issues be addressed in the workshop.
You may register at the Bookworm, and the fee must be paid upon registration. If registration does not reach a minimum number, the workshop will be cancelled and fees will be refunded. Maximum 12 participants.
Early registration: 500,000 VND until December 3
Regular: 600,000 VND December 4 or later
Scott Ezell will also have a Poetry Reading from his books Petroglyph Americana and Songs from a Yahi Bow, as well as from his poem-cycle “Hanoi Rhapsodies,” on December 8 at the Bookworm.
