From Project Black:
Project Black holds its first exhibition “BLACK” at the Vietart Centre, 42 Yet Kieu Street from 25th to 31st March. The exhibition shows the works of the five artists featured the last few months in its documentaries at Hanoi Cinematheque: Tran Huu Nhat, Hoang Xuan Son, Tran Chi Thanh, Chu Viet Cuong. Also exhibiting is Project Black Artist leader Nguyen Minh Tan.

What do you do when you are a committed artist but your work is so controversial that no gallery wants to exhibit you but you know you’ve got something important to say? You form a gang and fight. So fellow artist and gang leader Nguyen Minh Tan has gathered us together and fighting under the banner of Project Black, though outcasts of the Vietnamese Art World we are determined to reach out to the wider community and say “Here we are. Reject us or accept us on our own terms. You don’t have to agree with us but at least we can talk.”
