Last Saturday night at the Opera House I attended a fine recital by 28 year old pianist Vu Ngoc Linh. At present Linh is studying his Master of Music degree in Australia after previous studies in Russia and America.
Of Reveries and Obsessions is characterized by an uncanny violence and disturbing uneasiness. Featuring the work of Tiffany Chung, Nadège David, Đỗ Hoàng Tường, Sandrine Llouquet and Trần Văn Thảo – five artists based in Ho Chi Minh City – the exhibition explores the compulsive nature of art-making contemplative of the urban experience. While the works may range in style and medium, each refers to the obsessive impulse of creation or a drugged, dreamlike state of existence.

Well, I was really looking forward to getting a seat to see Britten’s little opera but try hard as we could we couldn’t manage to get a look in.
For us culturally unconnected who can’t get to the free ticket rush on the first day of issue at the sponsoring agency, and who are definitely not VIP material, how about putting aside a block of seats in all areas of Nha Hat Lon that we could pay for. There’s a lot of us who don’t mind paying to see good stuff and who would gladly pay for a seat… the money could be regarded as a donation to any good cause.

ON LEVEL 2 there’s a really lovely exhibition running until after Tet. It’s a bit of a retrospective of a very respected Vietnamese artist’s output from the American War years to the present and is worth a look.
This week, DOCLAB is introducing experimental films by Polish filmmaker Zbig Rybczynski, including one of his best-known works which won the Oscar for Best Animated Short in 1983. These films represent Rybczynski’s early period of his career when he made films using techniques typically associated with animation, including the spatial arrangement of many different image sources into one frame, or colorization processing by the hand-painting of individual frames.
