From the organizer:

Come to Sculpture Exhibition “The Birds” by sculptor Thai Nhat Minh. A solo exhibition with more than 150 small sculptures (made ​​of wood and aluminum casting) inspired by the image of the birds. Combined with bamboo to create surrounded and narrowed space in a general layout.

The first space includes 3 square columns about 3m height, 45 – 50 cm width, from the ground up to the ceiling of the exhibition. Formed by the straight, solid, dashed bamboo sticks which inspires from the bird cage. In this cramped space there is a lot of birds with different posture and mood, are interlocked and overlapped.

Second space is created by the bamboo sticks connected with others, bending into curves as arcs, and continuously occupy the entire second room which is 80m2 of space. It is expressed as the orbit of the birds with the curve in a big space.

Connection between the two spaces is the experience and thought of the audience.

Using sculpture as the expression language, but using installation to impact directly on the viewer. The author let the audiences experience themselves in that space and feel their own feeling.
