DIGITAL EXHIBITION SERIES: WORLD CLASSIC MASTERPIECES

About project: “Digital Exhibition Series: World Classic Masterpieces” is an annual art project initiated and organised by Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA) since 2019. The project’s mission is to bring world classic masterpieces closer to the Vietnamese public through modern digital display technologies, offering a vivid, high-quality and interactive visual experience.

Each edition of the exhibition focuses on one or several iconic artists representing different art movements and periods. Alongside the exhibitions are educational and community engagement activities such as thematic talks, art tours, workshops, concerts and more, designed to help the public access, explore and discuss art from diverse perspectives.

The series debuted in 2019 with “Reflective Impressions: Van Gogh & His Works” highlighting iconic pieces by Vincent van Gogh. In 2020, “Images and Distance” showcased the works of two renowned Austrian painters, Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. In 2021, “Colorful Silence” presented the works of Claude Monet and Pierre Bonnard. In 2022, the exhibition “Seeing the Invisible” featured three leading figures of Abstractionism: Piet Mondrian, Paul Klee, and Wassily Kandinsky. In 2023, “This Is Not a Dream” highlighted the works of René Magritte and Frida Kahlo, two artists associated with Surrealism and personal expressions. In 2024, the exhibition “Image Reconstructed” introduced the works of key Cubist artists such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Jean Metzinger, Fernand Léger, Marie Laurencin, and Marcel Duchamp.

HANOI GRAPEVINE’s FINEST is an annual event that honors contemporary art projects in Vietnam. The event is organized and nominated by Hanoi Grapevine and the general audience.

Entering its 6th year, Hanoi Grapevine’s Finest aims to go beyond an annual honouring event to become a contemporary archive of Vietnam’s art and cultural landscape, as well as a foundational platform to promote interdisciplinary collaborations both domestically and internationally, towards an open, fair, and transparent ecosystem.

This year, Hanoi Grapevine’s Finest 2024-2025 is divided into two major categories: Honouring and Recognition. Nominations are selected based on sets of criteria that aim to highlight the developmental significance and scale of impact, including activity level, community impact, creativity, organisational capability and artistic quality.
