More information about the artists

Andrea Radai was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1964. Because of the work of her father, the Radai family lived for a couple of years in Vietnam and Laos during the 70’s. Back in Budapest, she applied to Art School, Magyar Képzömüvészeti Föiskola. A few years later she attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Groningen and studied there for four years. In her final year, she went to Paris, France where she was took lessons from Tony Grand at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-art. She and her husband are living and working in Amsterdam.

Andrea Radai is an exceptionally talented painter who has covered a wide range of human related subjects over the years. Her work has been on show in Hungary, The Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark. It has been put up for auction by Sotheby’s in The Netherlands, Russia and Isreal. She is represented by Reuten Gallery, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

NGUYEN Trinh Thi is a Hanoi-based moving image artist whose works consistently engage with memory and history. Her materials are diverse – from video and photographs shot by herself to those appropriated from various sources including press photos, corporate videos, and classic films; her practice traverses boundaries between film and video art, installation and performance. She’s interested in exploring the in-between spaces: between documentary and fiction, narrative and abstract, control and chance, foreground and background.

Nhà Sàn COLLECTIVE is not a museum, a gallery or an international culture institute where completed work are presented by established artists. Just like Nhà Sàn Studio before, it is a working studio to nurture where artists can create, collaborate, be given advices, critiques, and have chances to meet with international artists, curators. Works that are presented at open studio every month could be finished or not, but the process of developing idea and working to improve the quality of the art work for local artists is what Nhà Sàn COLLECTIVE focus on.
Nhà Sàn COLLECTIVE will have “Open Studio” every last Saturday of each month to show the artist’s process of working.
