Sàn Art Laboratory

From the organizer:

The day will also feature French/Vietnamese guest Lab artist Frederic Sanchez (currently based in Shanghai) who will talk about curatorial projects that he has developed in parallel of his artwork. He will also introduce his upcoming project: “Red”, a Monochrome exhibition at The Observatory, HCMC.

Then welcome you to the artists-in-residence of the 4th session of ‘Sàn Art Laboratory’: Le Phi Long (Hue-HCMC), Lai Dieu Ha (Ha Noi) and Nguyen Van Du (Ho Chi Minh City) who began their 6 month residency on the 6th December, 2013.

After initial research and experiment, the artists are ready to reveal their first explorations to public in an OPEN STUDIO on January 25th, 5.30pm.

Come visit Phi Long who will share Ho Chi Minh City’s story of 300-year development, as he’s working with inspiration from rice, green spaces, geology and his vision for a more sustainable urban life. Dieu Ha will treat visitors with walnut seeds, a form that explains her interest in human psychology and mental trauma of those who suffer from divorce, how it influences their children, and her seeking of a possible relief therapy. Van Du explores another extreme of life – death, violence and existence – through images of slaughter from a butchery, of which findings will be shared through his notes, sketches, research documents, video and previous artwork.
