Ba Đình, Hà Nội
You are invited to
the screening of “When Björk Met Attenborough” and “Biophilia” – two
extraordinary Films about Music, Nature and Technology, in the framework of

What happens when
an award-winning musician meets a legendary broadcaster and naturalist, and
they start to investigate and discuss the connection which exists between
music and nature?
Islandic
experimentalist singer Björk and naturalist Sir David Attenborough have
admired each other’s work for years but this is the first time they have
discussed their mutual love of music and the natural world on screen.
In this remarkable
documentary “When Björk Met Attenborough”, Björk explores our unique
relationship with music and discovers how technology might transform the way
we engage with it in the future. David Attenborough explains how music exists
in the natural world and speaks about his own passion for music.
This unique
documentary is followed by the screening of Björk’s cutting-edge music
project “Biophilia” that explores where nature, music and technology meet.

“78 Rhythms” by Nguyen Huy An
Opening: Thu 30 Oct
2014, 6 pm
Exhibition: 30 Oct
– 22 Nov 2014
Galerie Quynh
65 Đề Thám,
District 1, HCMC
You are invited to
“78 rhythms” – a solo exhibition by Hanoi-based artist Nguyen Huy An. Known
for his quiet performances of transforming the most mundane and familiar of
materials into simple and poetic artworks, Nguyen Huy An is among the most
innovative artists of his generation. While focusing on new and recent work,
the artist’s first exhibition at the gallery will also include the acclaimed
work ‘The Roads’ (2007), presented in
Whether measuring
the streets of Hanoi’s Old Quarter with black thread, collecting dust on the
Vinh Tuy Bridge, condensing the monstrous structure of a skyscraper into a
humble stack of paper, or obsessively painting the same village pond for over
a decade, Huy An creates a personal visual archive of memories and histories
that relate to the social and political contexts of the sites he records. The
artist states, ‘’In the context of a growing economy, it is important to look
at and realize how modernity, and by extension the passage of time, casts
shadows on our existence and engenders zones of darkness in our collective
psychology.’’ Negotiating the tension between a nostalgia for nature and the
inexorable juggernaut of human progress, Huy An resorts to measuring as a
means of self-contraction – as an act of reifying memories and ideas, and
relocating, re-contextualizing and reducing concrete structures, creating
forms that appear more humanistic.
Nguyen Huy An has
an artistic predilection for dark materials: the melancholic color of dark and
moody spaces where the artist has lived, the black color of clothes and hair,
the sadness of his grandmother, his mother, his sisters and other women in
his life. Huy An’s work is, in an intricate and profound way, the color of
night like the nostalgic shadows hanging over life’s ordinary objects.

Artist Talk
by Nguyen Huy An
Sat 01 Nov 2014, 3
pm
Galerie Quynh
65 Đề Thám,
District 1, HCMC
You are invited to
an artist talk by Nguyen Huy An on the occasion of his current solo show ‘78
rhythms’. Nguyen Huy An will discuss the major themes in the exhibition and
the experiences that have inspired his practice.
Huy An’s work is
the manifestation of emotions and ideas on the materials of everyday life: a
bundle of entangled thread tucked in the corner of two walls, dust and dirt
stuck on the surface of a string of tapes, or plain sheets of papers stacked
on top of one another. This manifestation could be manifold; sometimes it is
about the tension between time and space, the past and the present, the
nostalgia for nature and the inexorable juggernaut of human progress.
During the artist
talk, Huy An will urge the audience to reflect on the context of a growing
economy that estranges human beings from the values of life that they’ve
grown up embracing. The artist states, “It’s important to look and realize
how modernity, and by extension the passage of time, casts shadows on our
existence and engenders zones of darkness in our collective psychology.” The
artist will also touch on the connection between the North and the South and
the exhibition being a presentation of
