EXHIBITION
Hanoi- ‘?!’ – A Solo Exhibition by Artist Nguyen Dinh Hoang Viet
Opening: Nov 5, 6.30 pm
Exhibition: Nov 6 – Dec 6
Manzi Art Space, 14 Phan Huy Ich
Exhibition: Nov 6 – Dec 6
Manzi Art Space, 14 Phan Huy Ich
Showcasing two new series of paintings by the Huế-based artist Nguyen Dinh Hoang Viet.
Having quietly made a name for himself in the past few years, Viet is best known for his trompe l’oeil portraits of rodents and fish looking peacefully content, trancelike, as if captured by a wonderful dream. Although playfully depicted, the works seriously have us question our eyes, as on closer inspection all the creatures turn out to be dead, for mice don’t lie face up when they sleep, and fish cannot breathe without their gills. The latest work in the continuation of the animal series – presented as the first half of “?!” – features flawlessly painted renditions of dead chickens, ducks and crabs. This time, however, they are flanked by comical exclamation marks and empty, black speech bubbles. The animals seem to be communicating something with us, but are ultimately failing to get their message across. How can they, really? For they are dead and we are not animals (or are we?!)

Hanoi-Exhibition “Across the Forest” by Truong Cong Tung

“Across the Forest” continues Tung’s deep-rooted fascination with the history and culture of the Jarai, the largest ethnic group in Vietnam’s Central Highlands, where the artist comes from. Fusing elements of folklore with his personal observations of the landscape and lives of the modern Jarai people, Tung’s video work paints a bleak portrait of the Jarai people’s situation and contemplates the state of a community confronted with numerous upheavals.
