From Nha San Collective:

Nha San Collective would like to invite you to “Narratives of Exposure” – our special event celebrating the 16th anniversary of Nha San.

Looking back at the history of Nha San, from the early days as a small experimental platform, to the later mobile project in public spaces and large projects in collaboration with various international cultural centres… Nha San embraces openness and flexibility and continues to develop towards a more sustainable model.

2014 celebrates 16 years of operation – the year marked a turning point for Nha San Collective after moving to a new space at 24 Ly Quoc Su. Besides organising exhibitions, film screenings, performances and open studios, we also host talks, discussions with artists, professionals. Moreover, educational workshops and art tours are organised on a regular basis. These activities have been successful in attracting a larger audience, especially young audiences.

Within the context of the anniversary, we are also pleased to introduce some photography works, video and installation of two artists who remain close to the operation of Nha San, Jamie Maxtone-Graham and Nguyen Thuy Tien. Each work consists of a separate story but they share a commonality, that is using the language of photography and interactive contact between the camera and object composition to create a conversation full of improvisation between the subjectivity and objectivity.

“Narratives of Exposure” will take place at 18:00 on December 30, 2014 at Nha San Collective Exhibition space and LaCa cafe, 24 Ly Quoc Su.

Communication partner: Hanoi Grapevine

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.

If you are interest and curious about experimental art, and want to have conversation with the working artists, please visit.
