Next Thursday... At la 4uatrieme.

18 pm, 30 th Nov. Opening "Kí" workshop exhibition.

" KÍ " workshop (or sketch workshop) is a project organized by La 4uatrieme and NAME Art Space for a group of young artists to share and work in a very basic way of doing art: sketching. This workshop is the combination of rough ideas for an installation, a painting, a photography/film project, land art, poetry or an art work in general. The artists in the group have been working together in team or individual for 1 month, since October 2012. The project includes art talk about team work, group discussion, outdoor activities, and the show of the group's work in the one month.

Normally at art exhibition, people see completed art work but they rarely see the sketch of it or the very early stage of the idea. Sometimes, it is the idea, the sketch which tells a lot about the work and the thought and feelings of an artists. With this in mind, the " KÍ " group wants to show their sketches as real art work and share with the viewers how an idea is formed and developed.

This will be the first workshop of " KÍ ". In the future, NAME Art Space will organize more similar workshop with different forms and materials and languages of art.

Workshop " KÍ " là một dự án được tổ chức bởi La 4uatrieme và NAME Space Art với sự tham gia của một nhóm nghệ sĩ trẻ để chia sẻ và làm việc từ một việc rất cơ bản của tác phẩm nghệ thuật: phác thảo. Workshop này là sự kết hợp của những ý tưởng thô cho một tác phẩm sắp đặt, một bức tranh, một dự án nhiếp ảnh/phim, nghệ thuật địa hình, thơ hay một tác phẩm nghệ thuật nói chung. Các nghệ sĩ đã làm việc theo nhóm, hay từng cá nhân trong 1 tháng, kể từ tháng 10 2012. Dự án bao gồm các buổi nói chuyện nghệ thuật về làm việc nhóm, thảo luận ý tưởng, hoạt động sáng tác ngoài trời, và giới thiệu các tác phẩm nhóm sau một tháng.

Thông thường, tại triển lãm nghệ thuật, mọi người nhìn thấy tác phẩm nghệ thuật đã hoàn thành, nhưng họ hiếm khi thấy phác thảo của nó hoặc giai đoạn đầu của ý tưởng. Đôi khi, chính ý tưởng, hay phác thảo lại nói lên rất nhiều về công việc và suy nghĩ và cảm xúc của một nghệ sĩ. Với suy nghĩ như vậy, nhóm " KÍ " muốn giới thiệu các phác thảo của họ như những tác phẩm nghệ thuật thực sự và chia sẻ với người xem một ý tưởng được hình thành và phát triển như thế nào.

Đây sẽ là workshop đầu tiên của " KÍ ". Trong tương lai, NAME Art Space sẽ tổ chức những workshop kí tương tự với các hình thức và chất liệu và ngôn ngữ nghệ thuật khác nhau.

Art Program - Ăn Cơm Chưa? by Colin Christy

For the month of November Colin will be working at La 4uatrieme, creating pieces and two large installations in an open studio residency. His goal is to connect to a creative community through a wide variety of collaborations with local artists, creative organizations, and local villages, and to share these experiences with others. It will include workshops on different artistic techniques, from traditional - to print - to digital. It will end in

 a short exhibition of the installations, paintings, and collaborative projects that happened during the residency.

The work will be made largely out of different Vietnamese food staples and will reflect on the community that it binds. Traditional Vietnamese practices that mix with new western modes of production (pesticides, gmo's, large-scale exportation, etc.). The residency will explore how in quickly changing times, food contains its culture, and culture contains its food.

Ăn Cơm Chưa? by Colin Christy

We are pleased to invite you to our new Open Studio to discover the work of Colin Christy, artist in residence at la 4uatrieme, during November.

Colin Christy is an artist who makes site-specific sculptures, installations, and drawings that combine natural and artificial materials using different techniques to create pieces that change and discover themselves over time. He has recreated and destroyed burial mounds in St. Louis, transplanted river-side ecosystems to Oakland, and made guerrilla sculptures in the streets of Florence. He moved to Hanoi from Oakland in the summer of 2012 to explore collaborations with other artists working in Vietnam.

Nowadays, we have become a travelling exhibition in order to foster the spanish contemporary art, focusing in those who use any language of video creation – video-performance, video-dance, experimental documentary, music clip, visual poetry, etc - , and trying to pay more attention to the most risky proposals.

SCREENS is also supported by the Spanish Ministry of Culture.

We can find also some objet trouvé, when this communal objects become manipulated (allways made in Vietnam). And a video-installation (when video work and installation become a partner)

24th MAY _ 7pm /// Opening RUN RUN /// Arno Baude, Retrospection 2005-2012.

From Arno Baude:

RUN RUN est un imperatif mais aussi un prenom en Asie. L’installation nommee, donne ainsi un certain regard sur le contexte socio-economique en Asie du Sud-Est.

Temoin d un developpement economique important au Vietnam depuis plus de sept ans, Arno propose une version TETRIS de l’urbanisme Hanoien. L’installation RUN RUN represente a l’aide de structures aluminium ( khung nhôm ) et d’un soutien audio, un pan de tissu social typiquement Vietnamien grace a l’enregistrement d’ambulants: ceux qui courent pour survivre dans un pays en mutation.

La proposition plastique se veut donc une critique sociale ou les materiaux bon marche  ( aluminium et mica ), montage audio simpliste ( megaphone connecte a un lecteur mp3 ) cotoient un cadre Roccoco, symbole des aspirations a reussir d un pays evoluant dans un contexte effrene de course aux gains.

Cette vision subjective d’un occidental est enfin partagee par la mise a disposition de cartes postales ponctuant, lors de ses deplacements initiatiques au Vietnam, des etapes de construction de la capitale ( le pont de la rue Hoàng Hoa Thám, une briqueterie… )et ses elements typiques ( le mausolee, les maisons extra-plates… ).

18th May_7pm /// Banh My Hawaii Tasting /// Arno Baude, Retrospection 2005-2012.

Arno is a Hanoi-based French independent artist who makes an inquiry into cultural values through Arts in South East Asia region.

His Art encompasses an astonishing variety of media, including local items and practices like mapping people and his life abroad.

He collects cultural typical pieces which he compulsively mixes and layers with his own concepts.
There are elements of luck in his walking around and become his personal Asian references.

Hanoiians series//

Hanoiians is an ongoing series of people living in Hanoi. The series which began in Hanoi in 2007 is formed of a social group wearing a Hawaiian shirt as a uniform.
The group gathered together men and women from different nationalities. Its social approach didn't focus on the Vietnamese local people or any group in particular,
but questioned why and how you might refer to a number of people as a 'group'.
This specifically Hanoian series dealt with themes of cultural identity, territories and migration flows.

LOST IN THE CONCRETE JUNGLE

The economic and social changes are transforming our cities and our traditional way of life. Economic globalization, cultural homogenization, technological and scientific progress, environmental risks, etc., are not neutral and isolated phenomena, they have social, economic and political, local and global consecuences and in turn raise new needs and dilemmas.

The photographs that Chin Yee has selected for Lost In The Concrete Jungle attempt to show this and other implications of urbanization; as our surroundings become increasinly urbanized, we are exposed to the risk of turing into isolated, faceless subjects trapped in mazes of ultra-planned physical and social realities.

Chin-Yee Wong is an urbanist working in the field of sustainable urban development. An avid photographer, capturing urban dynamics and the interaction between people and spaces became his love and medium of expression.  His constant search for diverse and vibrant urbanism has brought him and his cameras to disparate corners in Asia and Latin America.
