Exhibitions “Necessary Fictions” and “Broken Relationships”

The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre

15 Nguyen U Di, Thao Dien, District 2,

In the exhibition ‘Necessary Fictions’, artists Tammy Nguyen and Ha Ninh Pham explore the role of cartography and myth, their command of illustration within the painterly medium – across canvas, paper and wood – unveiling two distinct surrealities.

Meanwhile, the exhibition ‘Broken Relationships’ by Nguyen Ngoc Thach features the chaos of the current world order and the loss of ethical ground in a human-to-human social contract.
