From The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam:
The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam proudly presents an art exhibition “ART DOLLS: Silent voices” by Tran Thu Hang in Hanoi, from 8 September – 7 October 2011.

This exhibition is a part of the project entitled “Young Talent Series,” in which the Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam aims to provide the opportunity for a young Vietnamese artist to exhibit their collection of artworks in a format of a solo exhibition for the first time in his/her career.

Ms. Tran Thu Hang, a Vietnam University of Fine Arts graduate and a freelance illustrator, is one of the pioneers to bring the visual impact of “Art Doll” works to Vietnam. Her doll’s delicate and minute facial expressions and postures are unforgettable once you see them, and are gaining more and more attention from the general public and media.

In this exhibition, a series of 12 art dolls made from 2007 – 2009, as well as 8 brand-new art dolls inspired by Japanese and Vietnamese cultures, will be exhibited in a purple colored space.

Ms. Hang comments:

“I bring voices and souls to my dolls to take the visitors to a world where the whispers of the dolls can be heard, where the stories of them can be listened to.”

We do hope all the visitors can enjoy listening to the silent voices of the art dolls in the exhibition. The opening, including the art talk by Ms. Tran Thu Hang will be held at 18:00 on Wednesday 7 September at the exhibition hall of the Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam. It runs until Friday 7 October.

Free admission.
