From Nha San Collective:
Nha San Collective warmly invite you to the screening: “Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child” (2010, 88 mins). This documentary film by director Tamra Davis tells the dramatic life of genius painter Jean-Michel Basquiat. Is was made from insider interviews between Tarma Davis and her friend, Jean-Michel. After his death on 1988, these archival footage had been put in drawer for over twenty years before the director took it out to make the film.
“Director Tamra Davis pays homage to her friend in this definitive documentary but also delves into Basquiat as an iconoclast. His dense, bebop-influenced neoexpressionist work emerged while minimalist, conceptual art was the fad; as a successful black artist, he was constantly confronted by racism and misconceptions. Much can be gleaned from insider interviews and archival footage, but it is Basquiat’s own words and work that powerfully convey the mystique and allure of both the artist and the man.” (Sundance Film Festival)

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