From the organizer:
“Finding a cushion, constructing a couch around it, transforming it into an idea, making that idea travel to and arrive in Berlin and Hanoi”, Between Journeys (Zwischen) is a sofa presented in the exhibition “ Arrival?” shown in both Hanoi and Berlin. Amid a space filled with artworks exploring the idea of movement, this work by Florian Witt opened up a moment of pause – an invitation to rest and reflect before continuing the journey. After the exhibition in Hanoi concluded, the sofa was relocated to the HAS library space.
Echoing the artist’s initial idea of a site of hesitation, a pause, or a transitional point – where one journey ends and another begins – “On Sofa / Ghế Dài” invites artists, art practitioners, or simply our friends to interact with the sofa in the library space.
You may organize a film screening, a book discussion, a performance, an art talk, a craft workshop – or any format you feel resonating with the spirit of the sofa. We welcome all ideas.
Come join us and spend some time on the sofa together.

Artists, curators, researchers, practitioners, and facilitators working in the fields of culture and the arts.
