Finest Project Nominees: Shades of “DÓ”
SHADES OF “DÓ”
About project: The contemporary Dó paper-making profession is so clustered that it can be identified as an individual, instead of an entire craft village as in the past. Taking place at the Goethe-Institut from August 12-14, 2022, the series Shades of “Dó” included exhibitions, talks, and workshops that brought up the story of Dó paper from the past, present, and future from the view and the earnest labor of the younger generation. In addition, modern applications of Dó Ngô Đức (a type of Dó paper) were introduced through works that experimented with, applied, and combined the characteristics of paper with techniques such as paper sculpture, linoleum embossing, woodblock printing, cyanotype, as well as other materials such as shin-Kansai and gouache watercolors, gold emulsion ink, etc. to create a new and unique visual impression.
Participated artists include Jeet Zdung (comic artist – illustrator); Đào Huy Hoàng (artisan pen maker and Urushi lacquer); Nguyễn Kim Long (photographer); Huỳnh Lân (graphic practician – artist); Nguyễn Cẩm Anh (illustrator) and Vũ Kim Thư (experimental artist).
