THE FOLIAGE
VCCA starts its first exhibition season with the theme “The Foliage" featuring artworks of 18 contemporary Vietnamese and international artists. The Foliage is meaningful dialogues where artworks of diverse styles are arranged side-by-side, not chronologically or thematically, but through the interaction between specialized elements and architectural features of the exhibition space. In particular, the public can contemplate large-scale installation artworks by Bui Hai Son, Truong Tan and Nguyen Manh Hung as well as new artworks by Pham Dinh Tien, Vo Tran Chau, Le Hoang Bich Phuong, Phi Oanh, Tran Van Thao, Nguyen Quang Huy, Le Thua Tien, Dang Xuan Hoa and Ha Tri Hieu.
Especially, at the display window with an impressive size (3x17 meters), the French-Vietnamese artist Truc Anh will tell the metaphor story : “The Golden Fable” in the form of video-art.
