Being displayed at the Center for Culture and Art No.22 Hang Buom Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi, is a unique series of contemporary art exhibitions and installations inspired by the Vietnamese heritage and history of 40 individuals and groups of contemporary artists in Hanoi.
The exhibition features eight major art spaces, including the art installation “Fairy Skites”; the artifact show “Memories of 22 Hang Buom”, the lantern installation “Past and Present Meeting”, the art installation “Five Elements”, the 3D Game installation space “Air Skylen”, among others.
Accordingly, the “Fairy Skites” features images of kites created by artists Quan Hang Cao and Le Thanh Binh combined with a sound installation by Artist Tri Minh.
The lacquer, silk, and artworks made from Do paper (the paper is made from the powder of a tree named “do”) in the “Fairy and Dragon” painting exhibition are created based on the image of a fairy riding a dragon in the ancient village communal house carvings in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, the lantern installation “Past and Present Meeting” uses 36 lanterns with the theme of folk paintings. They are drawn with a pencil in combination with the graphic technique by Hanoi-based artist Xuan Lam, awakening a cultural beauty that has been forgotten in modern life.
The installation of “Five Elements” introduces a series of works made by cyanotype printing technique on silk, demonstrating Vietnamese artisans’ skillful craftsmanship and aesthetic ability.
