From the organizer:
Á Space warmly invites you to visit Where It Once Was – a special exhibition that brings together artists who have previously exhibited at Á and reunites the works that once illuminated its space.
Curator: Vũ Đức Toàn
Participating artists: Đặng Thùy Anh, Phạm Cảnh, Nguyễn Thị Diệp, Xuân Hạ, Thạch Hiếu, Lạc Hoàng, Nguyễn Đức Huy, Lazar Lyutakov, Linh San, Tuấn Mami
Where It Once Was is a site-specific exhibition that unfolds not only in conceptual terms, but also in its physical setting. Will we see beloved artworks by dear artists return to their exact spots, repeating their former positions? It is entirely possible.
We hope to share beautiful moments during a May day at the exhibition, to glance back at the past and see that the works are still there, yet not quite the same anymore. It is breathing for today, just as the artists are—so long as we are still breathing, we are still making and thinking about art, whether persistently or only from time to time.
Acknowledgements:
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the participating artists, whose trust and companionship have supported Á Space throughout the making of this exhibition.
We are also grateful for the support of Nguyễn Long Biên, Nguyễn Hữu Hải Duy, Nguyễn Đức Phương, Thạch Hiếu, Lê Xuân Tiến, Thư An and Nguyễn Huy An.
