A movie-goer named Quỳnh Chi shared with our team: Watching a movie at Ô ​​Cách Ciné is a ‘technically exquisite’ experience. From the trailer to the movie content, from the sound to the image, from the seats to the space, to attain such a quality lies not only in the technique of the editor and carpenter, but also in the careful preparation of the coordinators, making the viewing experience complete.

However, our team notes that there are still questions from those who are interested in the movie ‘Tương Ngộ’ and the Ô Cách Ciné. While the film will officially leave the screen on March 26, 2023 after five weeks of debuting in the distribution system of Ô Cách Ciné, making room for its new journeys that will soon be revealed, Á Space and Ô Cách Ciné team cordially invite you to join us in a conversation with filmmakers/artists Lê Xuân Tiến, Nguyễn Trần Nam and curator Châu Hoàng, moderated by aspiring writer Quỳnh Chi.

With the same amount of ingredients, through different techniques and layouts, the chef can come up with countless unique flavors for a dish. Likewise, dealing with the same amount of footage, Lê Xuân Tiến and Nguyễn Trần Nam came up with two different versions under the same title “Tương Ngộ” (given by Như Văn). In this talk, the speakers will share their views on structure, including the structure in montage (space in the film), the theater structure (physical space) and the structure to work with. together. At the same time, we will also hear more about the process of forming the project, setting up the theater space, and other side stories that contributed to this occasion.

“It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child!”
– Pablo Picasso
Painting, like any form of art, is not a sacred place forbidden to ordinary people. On the contrary, it must be a place that nourishes and nurtures the most ordinary things, making them flourish in a natural and naive appearance. That’s why painters, after mastering professional painting knowledge and techniques, try to return to abstraction and think like children.

In 2021, Nha started painting. From the first brushstroke until now, there has always been a pure and naive spirit in Nha’s work. After 2 years, we can see that on the journey of self-discovery and self-talk through painting, with life experiences of many ups and downs, peace or storms, the emotional circuit of Nha are still reflected on the paintings, which are sincere, pure and passionate.

Art exhibition: Portraits

Until Apr 9, 09 am – 08 pm
Mơ Art Space, No. 136 Hang Trong Street, Hoan Kiem District

Mơ Art Space cordially invites Hanoi art lovers to visit Portraits – the solo exhibition by artist Nguyen Thanh. The project features his work over the past two years, which are mostly portraits of different sizes, colors and expressions. Nguyen Thanh’s art is reminiscent of Gesturalism – an aesthetic style initiated by Willem De Kooning and praised by Georg Baselitz as an absolute freedom in artistic expression. Although Thanh’s paintings do not reflect specific faces, they are abstract representations of a human’s spiritual mind that is open to interpretation, like a puzzle one can always see anew every time taking a closer look.

Art Exhibition: “HOME”

Until Mar 28,
Vietnam Fine Arts Museum, 66 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street
The exhibition “HOME” by artist Hoàng Định and his children Hoàng Minh Thuỷ, Hoàng Chúc Anh, Hoàng Nguyễn Khánh Linh và Hoàng Khánh Nguyên will take place from March 18, 2023, to March 28, 2023, at Vietnam Fine Arts Museum, 66 Nguyen Thai Hoc, Hanoi.

Hoàng Định introduces 15 of his latest oil and lacquer paintings on the streets of Hanoi – the fresh and energetic “visual signals”.

Exhibition “Harmonize”

Until Apr 25, 09:30 am – 06 pm
V-Art Space, Floor 1 Ciputra Club, Bac Tu Liem District

After the success of two solo exhibitions “It” (2005) and “The Corner to See” (2014), visual artist Tran Trung Thanh remarks on another decade of hard work with the “Harmonize” exhibition. The artist’s journey in search of answers to questions about history, the development of society, and the intersection of life, science, and art is recorded via more than 30 oil paintings. Accompanying the exhibition is artist Vuong Pat Cam and his impressive works about Hanoi.

Meticulous, persistent, and profound are what we can say about the process of Tran Trung Thanh creating his artworks. Since the Jeunes Regard competition for young artists in 2004, Tran Trung Thanh’s painting style has become more and more bold.

Neither surrealism nor hyperrealism, Tran Trung Thanh encodes his notions of life into unique characters. Each painting presents a social issue of Vietnam or the world along with questions about history, international diplomacy, and the intersection of life – science – art.

“Harmonize” is the third solo exhibition of artist Tran Trung Thanh.

Exhibition Walk-through “All Aboard”
 

Until Apr 1, 10 am – 07 pm
Galerie Quynh, 118 Nguyễn Văn Thủ, Đa Kao ward, D1,

An adherent of Buddhist philosophy, Nguyen Manh Hung proposes that death is a journey and karma is its luggage filled with good and bad deeds as one goes about one’s daily life. Some prepare for their post-life with sophisticated funeral rituals; others fill their luggage with only good karma hoping to arrive at a place that may not exist. In his characteristically playful adaptation of everyday scenarios, Nguyen Manh Hung’s latest series of work in the exhibition ‘All Aboard’ conjures up a highly contrasting and absurd pairing: a frenzied crowd hurriedly and narrowly holding onto a sacred gate, which leads to the unknown. While poking fun at the living’s obsession with heaven — a realm that exceeds the comprehension of earthly beings, this series reminds us that death is highly personal and unique: how we live reflects our preparation for this journey. Like a command, ‘All Aboard’ urges us to contemplate the meaning of human existence as characterised by our own subjective understanding of what lies on the other side of the gate.
