The daily life is a vendor sitting on the street under electric wires, old jars under the table, passing through chickens, ducks, markets,… and many other stories portrayed in Le Kim My’s paintings and Vu Kim Thu’s lanterns – her little world.

With different modes of expression, the two artists tell the story of the daily life in this shared space.

Exhibition “Chapter 4: Days and Nights of Revolving Joy” by Sandrine Llouquet

Galerie Quynh

You are invited to an exhibition of new work by Sandrine Llouquet titled “Chapter 4: Days and Nights of Revolving Joy”. This will be the artist’s fifth solo show at the gallery. Borrowing a line from “The Four Zoas”, an unfinished book of mythic poems by William Blake, the title reflects a continuous and elaborate journey of learning and discovery for the artist.

Exhibition “Machine is Nature”

The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre

15 Nguyen U Di, Thao Dien, District 2

The exhibition features 15 artists from Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, China and the UK, curated by The Factory and Inlen Photo Gallery.

This exhibition seeks to engage the behaviour and consequence of thinking that machines have become the ‘Nature’ we study and prioritise. It examines the current times in which we live, sharing the work of artists who are both in awe, and critical, of the patterns, substance, psychological relations and historical fictions between assumptions of Nature and the Machine.
