High Voltage House 33B, Gia Lam Train Factory
481 Ngọc Lâm, Long Biên, Hà Nội
Artistic impulses from Hanoi, Vietnam, and Bremen, Germany, coalesce to create the ninth season of the Month of Art Practice 2023, themed Alternative Mobility. In Hanoi, 10 artists with a diverse range of practices will engage in discussions, present their thoughts, and develop different ideas about Mobility based on their perceptions and perspectives, experiences, and artistic languages.
The public will have the opportunity to explore the challenging and surprising creative process of this year MAP 2023’s artists through Open Studio. The workspace will offer a glimpse into the artist’s mind, fostering intimate conversations where the barrier of space and time is dissolved between the audience and creators. Open Studio is also one of the new additions to Month of Art Practice 2023. Concurrently with this activity, another temporary exhibition of Alternative Mobility #2 featuring guest artists Vũ Kim Thư, Hoàng Nguyễn, Lê Nguyễn Duy Phương, and Felix Dreesen will be showcased in the Heritage train’s carriages as a part of the Hanoi Creative Design Festival 2023.
The final results of the artists’ work will be presented in the concluding exhibition of the project titled “Alternative Mobility” at the very space where they worked and created – the Gia Lam Train Factory. The works in this exhibition are unified by the overarching idea of expressing states of Mobility towards Sustainability, unveiling dialogues encompassing contexts, cultures, emotions, politics, and artistic expressions.
This event is a part of the contemporary art exhibition: The Alternative Mobility, a part of MONTH OF ART PRACTICE – MAP 2023, in response to Hanoi Creative Design Week 2023
This Open Studio will showcase a portion of the work of artists from Korea, Japan, Germany, Switzerland and Vietnam including: Gemini Kim, Hwayong Kim, Sylbee Kim, Felix Dreesen, Yuhei Higashikata, Akosua Viktoria Adu-Sanyah, Ngo Dinh Bao Chau, Sarah Morag Thuy Tien, Nguyen Hoang Anh and Nguyen Vu Hai.

Open Studio “Roots & Worlds”
Opening: 06 pm – 08 pm, Fri 24 Nov 2023
Open studio: 07 am – 07 pm, 25 – 26 Nov 2023
Matca Space for Photography
48 Ngoc Ha, Ba Dinh, Ha Noi
You are cordially invited to the Open Studio introducing works produced within the Roots & Worlds program by 7 participants: Đan Trần, Trần Quỳnh Nhi, Nguyễn Hữu Thiện Trường, Dương Gia Hiếu, Hà Huyền Trang, Nguyễn Võ Bảo Hân and Nguyễn Lê Tuấn Kiệt.
Since September 2023, each photographer has been developing their own project responding to the theme of ecological encounters. Their projects are set in different locales and cover a myriad of topics: flowers as a medium through which we deal with love and loss, bananas as reminders of home, longan farmers in the Mekong Delta, portrait of a butterfly collector, and the present life and past legends along Vietnam’s coast. Starting with a plant or place where multiple species encounter one another, they have followed unexpected paths, merging the personal and political, local and global, fact and fiction.
The Open Studio gives a glimpse into the collective labor of the participants and mentoring team, who have spent two months learning, making, working and editing together. An expanded version of their work will be soon available online and in a print publication. This concluding event is our gesture of gratitude for all participants, guest contributors, sponsors and audiences who have joined us throughout this journey of Roots & Worlds. Thank you for joining us in expanding conversations about image-making and ecology.
This event is supported by the British Council as part of the UK/Viet Nam Season 2023.
Roots & Worlds is an alternative school co-designed and run by ICVL (UK) and Matca (Vietnam) where collaboration takes centre stage. It is intended for early-career Vietnamese image-makers who wish to develop their visual language and produce socially conscious stories. Alongside the mentorship, the program also fosters interdisciplinary engagement by inviting contributions from Vietnamese and international researchers, writers and artists.
Overvoltage
17 Nov – 31 Dec 2023
High-voltage electric station 33B, Gia Lâm Train Factory
551 Nguyễn Văn Cừ, Gia Thụy, Long Biên, Hà Nội
Vietnam Art Collection (VAC) is delighted to present ‘Overvoltage’, a site-responsive intervention by Vy Trịnh, curated by Vân Đỗ and organized by Á Space.
The scanner stops working suddenly, total black out. A train crashed, the chassis is burning into hazy ashes and flames. No one knows what has happened. The clock ticks backwards, time stops then runs again x 5.0 speed. The sculptor arrives on an Akira slide. Everything is pitch black. The last light bulb begins to flicker.
Space is the main material in ‘Overvoltage’. Taking an existing site – an electric supply room – as an organic and mechanical site, both human and nonhuman, ‘Overvoltage’ witnesses an encounter between existing traces of an overall architectural structure and a sculptor who will produce on site, within a specific time frame, using materials sourced from electrical supply stores, adhering to the industry and the ecologies within the factory and nearby the site (Long Biên District).
‘Overvoltage’ proposes that a particular site is not necessarily overcast by its socio-political shadows, but can rather be felt and made present – like how electricity current delivers, flows, and interrupts – through affect. Through Vy’s methodology of active working on-site, the train factory becomes her motor in revealing the kind of personality it once was and is as of now – being exposed, intervened, coming into sudden contact with strangers, awaiting an undetermined future.

In a diverse and innovative art environment, the intersection of cultures and artistic styles always brings new and creative experiences. The exhibition “The Language of Water” by artist Nicolás López is a testament to this and a meaningful new chapter in his artistic journey around the world.
“The Language of Water” is the statement of Nicolás López’s characteristic painting technique and the title he chose for his series of personal exhibitions and workshops in many countries worldwide.

Floor 3, Ngo Quyen Art Exhibition Center
16 Ngô Quyền, Tràng Tiền ward, Hoàn Kiếm district, Hà Nội
“Reality is often more obscured than our expectation – and art is the reflection of that obscurity. It is the individual uniqueness that makes art diverse and make each of us an universe within. In my eye, for every point of space-time, things affect us in an unique way, thus each object of art calls for an unique form of expression. In this exhibition, the eye is a symbolic object – it symbolizes our perception of the world, as much as the eyes of the world observe our actions.”
Artist Nguyen Thi Mai Thanh proudly introduces her third solo exhibition “A Perspective”, where you are invited to discover artworks guided by her own intimate thoughts and emotions.

Exhibition “Accompany”
Until Dec 3
The Muse Artspace, 47 Trang Tien Street, Hanoi
During the development process for the Hai Phong artists exhibition, we tried to perceive the geographic region through their artworks as the impact of living environment and regional culture is somewhat engraved into the art of each individual. We’d acknowledged this through their realistic sceneries in previous exhibitions; peaceful, romanticized, idealized, beautiful yet gloomy. However, as some artists put efforts to dive deeper into personal expression, their art becomes rich, and reflective, and reinvigorates the spirit of the scenery.
Exhibition “A State Called Meow”
Until Dec 3, 09 am – 08 pm,
Annam Gallery, 371/4 Hai Ba Trung Street, D3, HCM City
Annam Gallery and Lân Tinh Foundation are thrilled to announce the first solo exhibition of Chu Tiến Thăng titled “A state called meow”.
Since ancient times, cats have always been a symbol in many different cultures around the world. They are mascots representing knowledge, wealth and luck. In the Asian 12 zodiac animals in countries such as China, Korea or Japan, the year “卯” represents the rabbit. The Vietnamese spoonerizes the Chinese word and have been calling it the year of the Cat.
Cats in everyday life scenes bring people endless inspiration and joy. Chu Tiến Thăng’s interest in cats also comes from the simplest beauties, such as when they are playing, dozing off, licking,… making us admire their flexible bodies. The actions of each body part are extremely independent, which stimulates the artist’s curiosity and will be the material for him to continue drawing in the future.Follow updates on event’s page.
Exhibition “Whoop Whoop”
Until Nov 30
Vin Gallery, 35/8 Nguyen Van Dau Street, Binh Thanh District, HCM City
Vin Gallery is humbled to present “Whoop Whoop” a solo show by Katharina Arndt. Living and working between Berlin and Barcelona, Katharina Arndt displays her unique and honest details in her paintings.
“Whoop Whoop” depicts how she captures the everyday life of a consumerist society through her colorful paintings.
The paintings are also symbols, they appear as tools to articulate the immaterial objects that haunt human life, especially in the online world.
Exhibition “Have Been – Eternally”
Until Nov 24, 10 am – 06:30 pm,
Hanoi Studio Gallery, No. 23-25 Mac Dinh Chi Street, Ba Dinh District, HCM City
Awareness of existence and presence within the whirlwind of time is always a perennial anxiety for each individual. What are we doing here? Drifting, not connecting with the future, the past, or the present. Lâm Na is no exception.
There are times when she seems to be in a trance. Just existing, breathing, looking to see everything drifting away, fading, and disappearing.
A dreamer. Then, she encounters Earth. A meeting of a thousand years. Lâm Na, reborn through connecting with the Earth.
Exhibition “White Blank”
Until Dec 9, 10 am – 07 pm, Tues – Sat,
Galerie Quynh, 118 Nguyen Van Thu Street, D1, HCM City
Galerie Quynh is pleased to present ‘White Blank’ – a highly anticipated exhibition of new works by Paris-based artist Tran Nu YênKhê. Known internationally in film for acting, art direction and costume design, YênKhê has been making art quietly for over three decades, though rarely exhibits her work publicly. In her first solo exhibition at the gallery, new and recent works created in Paris and Ho Chi Minh City are being presented for the first time.
In the series of sculptures titled ‘White Blank’, YênKhê creates fluid forms that provide a source of meditation and relief from the turmoil of the world in which we live. Made in a range of materials from plaster, cast bronze and composite, the soft, organic structures are unrecognizable as specific entities yet at the same time, feel familiar. Inspired by a quote from Kandinsky, “White sounds as a silence, a nothing before any beginning,” YênKhê’s sculptures are entirely white – the works only become tangible through the presence of light. They are defined entirely through subtle shadows and highlights; any change in light engenders a transformation of their anatomy.
Exhibition “Birdsong”
Until Dec 17, 11 am – 07 pm, Tues – Sun
Manzi Exhibition Space
No. 2 Hàng Bún alley, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi
An exhibition by Trần Trung Tín entitled ‘Birdsong’ on the occasion of the late artist’s 90th birthday anniversary
Trần Trung Tín (1933 – 2008), a talented man with an exceptional life born into a bizarre epoch, had started painting merely as a way to go through the aftermath of an ideological crisis. Stuck in the extreme disillusionment and suppression, forbidden to speak up his thoughts or write out his opinions, Trần Trung Tín began to draw. In such a strange twist of fate, the used-to-be actor/announcer/film screenwriter then spent the entire last half of his life painting ceaselessly and quietly, and unexpectedly became the most absurd and brilliant phenomenon of Vietnamese art.
Exhibition recalls liberation of Hanoi
Until Dec 31,Hoa Lo Prison,
An exhibition, named “The Roar of the Red River” which has two parts.
The first part features Hanoi’s preparations for a long resistance war following President Ho Chi Minh’s appeal for national resistance against the French.
The second part highlights the significance of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign in 1954, which forced the French to sign the Geneva Accords and withdraw their troops from northern Vietnam.
Exhibition “A Tide of Emotions”
10 am – 09:30 pm, 04 Oct 2023 – 30 Mar 2024
Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA)
B1–R3, Vincom Mega Mall Royal City
72A Nguyễn Trãi, Thanh Xuân, Hà Nội
From October 04, 2023, to March 30, 2024, at Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA), the large-scale installation exhibition “A Tide of Emotions” will be presented to public view for the first time in Vietnam, featuring artworks by Japanese female artist Chiharu Shiota, a worldwide famous name in conceptual art.
Chiharu Shiota is revered as one of Asia’s foremost female visionaries in the global realm of contemporary art. Through decades of her artistic odyssey, Shiota has ventured across a spectrum of creative realms, from the ephemeral dance of performance art to the silent reverie of painting, the tangible whispers of sculpture to the immersive embrace of installation. Shiota’s works are a convergence of beauty in both form and content, both making a strong visual impression and containing countless layers of deep meaning within.
The exhibition “A Tide of Emotions” includes completely new works made at VCCA. Notably, the main work with the same title covers VCCA’s huge space with a network of red threads, which are the representative material of the artist, linked to the wooden boats which carry history and stories and harbour multitudes of metaphors for a land like Vietnam, where a coastline stretches long as the eye can trace.
Chiharu Shiota (born 1972) is a Japanese contemporary artist, currently based in Berlin, Germany. Shiota is among the most active and successful contemporary artists in the world today whose works have been displayed in many prestigious museums and exhibitions in the region. She was chosen as the artist representing Japan at the 56th Venice Biennale (2015), one of the oldest and most reputable international art events in the world held every two years in Venice, Italy.
Exhibition “Plan of Summer”
10 am – 05 pm, 23 Sep – 31 Dec 2023
Artigin Art Space
Main lobby of Lotte Mall Westlake office building
683 Lac Long Quan Street, Phu Thuong Ward, Tay Ho District, Hanoi
Artigin Art Space is pleased to introduce to art lovers the exhibition Plan of the Summer, with the participation of 6 artists- Do Minh Tam, Tran Hai Minh, Dam Dang Lai, Tran An, Can Van An, Dinh Duy Ton.
The exhibition Plan of the Summer delves into the memories and sounds of summer in each of us, in order to create a silence in our minds, for us to remember, or for us to be silent and cherish the Summer passing by.
Six artists, six individuals carrying their own summers.
Tran Hai Minh dances with the strokes and traces of inner strength and emotions. Sometimes slow and gentle like a light summer breeze, other times rushing and intense like a July downpour.
Do Minh Tam with the interweaving patches of memories and the present. Profound, philosophical, yet also spontaneous and vibrant.
Dam Dang Lai is spontaneous and surreal with colorful shapes, standing, lying, running, jumping, blending into space.
Floating like a cloud, twisting like the wind, lively like mischievous creatures, Tran An, calm yet full of dynamics with thought-provoking “material” blocks. Stretching, molding the surrounding space.
Can Van An, struggling with the collision, invasion between old and new, new and old. With seemingly radiant and shining patches of color, but harboring a sense of unease.
Dinh Duy Ton, emotions and inner thoughts with the changes of youth, cold but also incredibly warm with shapes made of iron and stainless steel that convey feelings.
Poems of the Sky
10 am – 06 pm, 20 Sep – 02 Dec 2023
Sàn Art, Units B6.16 and B6.17, 6th Floor, Block B Office, Millennium Masteri, Ward 6, District 4, HCMC
Ly Hoàng Ly and Sàn Art heartily invite you to an open studio whose title draws inspiration from a poem of Gibran in “Sand and Foam” to explore the artist’s partially unfinished, partially fulfilled space of imagination.
Originating from the performance “Hugging trees – Hugging your loved ones – Hugging yourself” at the Plum Village, France in 2015, Ly Hoàng Ly carries on exploring the relations among different bodies as artistic material and the dynamic between internal drives and external forces.
As an artist adept in various materials, transformations of the external world, and micro changes in the inner soul, in this open studio, Ly presents her artwork-in-progress as a lingering meditation practice since 2018.
Coming here, the audience is asked to observe, and then interrogate the static and dynamic in performance art, the individuality and collectivity in public art, and the formation, participation, and contribution of factors that seem random and trivial, yet carefully calculated: time, location, body, audience – to position the artist’s presence in her work.
Coming here, the audience is invited for a conceptual dialogue to explore the possibilities of different utilisations of the interior and exterior space of the artworks; the materials and their effects on our sensation.
Thus, the artist and the audience together reflect and challenge, abolish and consolidate, forgetting and searching … to figure out these connections between humans with natural beings, between our inner self with the beauty, ugliness, and in betweenness of the surrounding world.
Exhibition “Stratum Zero”
Until Dec. 3; 09 am – 07 pm, Tues – Sun,
The Outpost Art Organisation, Roman Plaza Tower B1 (Floor 2), To Huu Street, Hanoi
Stratum Zero displays a wide range of works by Vietnamese artists in The Outpost Collection. The exhibition attends to the analysis of the aesthetic context and construction of the contemporary Vietnamese spirit and artistic landscape evoked from the works.
That analysis and construction is expressed through the practice of processing and restructuring the material language, through marking the enduring flow of Asian folklore and philosophy, as well as hidden, peripheral historical perspectives.
