dzo painting Lê Đình Chung biography Born in 1990, Lâm Đồng, currently lives and works in Đắk Nông, Vietnam, Lê Đình Chung (aka. Lê Đ.Chunh) graduated from Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts University in 2015. Working across painting, installation, sculpture, video, and performance, Chung’s multidisciplinary practice engages with both everyday realities and layered historical narratives. Rooted in the Central Highlands (formerly designated as “New Economic Zones” during the post-war renovation era), where he was born and spent his childhood, Lê Đ.Chunh’s practice has long been shaped by the region’s spiritual culture, oral traditions, micro-histories, and its rapid transformation under exploitation. He explores shifting social and political landscapes through the lens of personal memory. His work unfolds within this terrain of tension—between remembrance and erasure, resilience and rupture—as well as navigates contradictions and the complexities of ongoing reality, along with the enigmatic descent of unresolved motifs and meanings from the past. works This artist currently has no available work at Manzi works FOLLOWING THE WALLS WE FOUND THE ELECTRIC GENERATOR series LÊ ĐÌNH CHUNG 2023 40 x 60 cm color pigment on dzo paper Enquire works Untitled LÊ ĐÌNH CHUNG 2024 40 x 60 cm color pigments on dzo paper Enquire works Untitled LÊ ĐÌNH CHUNG 2024 40 x 60 cm color pigments on dzo paper Enquire works FOLLOWING THE WALLS WE FOUND THE ELECTRIC GENERATOR series LÊ ĐÌNH CHUNG 2024 40 x 30 cm oil on dzo paper Enquire works FOLLOWING THE WALLS WE FOUND THE ELECTRIC GENERATOR series LÊ ĐÌNH CHUNG 2024 40 x 30 cm oil on dzo paper Enquire works FOLLOWING THE WALLS WE FOUND THE ELECTRIC GENERATOR series LÊ ĐÌNH CHUNG 2024 40 x 30 cm oil on dzo paper Enquire works FOLLOWING THE WALLS WE FOUND THE ELECTRIC GENERATOR series LÊ ĐÌNH CHUNG 2024 70 x 60 cm oil on dzo paper Enquire works FOLLOWING THE WALLS WE FOUND THE ELECTRIC GENERATOR series LÊ ĐÌNH CHUNG 2024 80 x 60 cm color pigment on dzo paper Enquire works Untitled LÊ ĐÌNH CHUNG 2024 60 x 80 cm color pigment on dzo paper Enquire works Following the walls we found the electric generator series LÊ ĐÌNH CHUNG 2023 -

sculpture Vương Thạo biography Vuong Van Thao is a native Hanoian, born in 1969 and graduated from Hanoi Fine Arts University in 1995. His ‘Body and Dream’ series, for which he achieved international recognition, was first exhibited at Salon Natasha in 2001. These paintings and sculptures are affectionately referred to as his ‘bums’ artworks and are still an important and ongoing part of Thao’s art practice. In 2006 Thao unveiled his first ‘Living Fossil’ sculpture series. He created a miniture model consisting of a house next to a power pole from each street in the Hanoi’s Old Quarter and cast each one in a cube of solid composite resin. In 2007 Thao was invited to exhibit this 68-piece work at the Singapore Art Museum as part of the Asia Pacific Art Awards, during which he was nominated as one of the 10 best artists in the region. The museum purchased the entire work for its permanent collection. Chasing the “Living Fossil” concept for the last 10 years, Thao has created beautiful pieces that represent the loss of traditional values and urge us to think more about the effects of globalization and urbanization. works This artist currently has no available work at Manzi works Living Fossil 'Quan Chuong Gate' VƯƠNG THẠO 2021 33 x 33 x 21 cm mixed media & composite Enquire works Broken History VƯƠNG THẠO 2017 42 x 42 cm ceramic Enquire works Smouldering VƯƠNG THẠO 2019 D: 58 cm ; H: 3 cm woodburn Enquire related My Zootopia The sky is the same everywhere Catching Faces Faint Traces the sky, the sand, the lashing waves following the stone wall and we found an electric generator 6𝒗➡️¹/² The world as a draft The Fifth Cardinal Direction Spatium 47 Days, Sound-less in spaces of everyscape, at time without end </3 Hồi Sóng Birdsong on our pathway vol. 4 Entrusted Conjectures Hanoi 1985 - 2015, In The Years Of Forgetting Then and Now, Hanoi streets in transition 'Neo-Romanticism' More than Human #1 Arca Noa no-think The Four Subjects A saga of unrealised projects what's going on at Manzi

biography Tuan Anh was born 1979 in Thanh Hoa and graduated from the University of Art and Design with a BA in Graphic Design in 2000 and mainly works as a painter and sculptor. For Tuan Anh, the countryside is his spiritual foundation and it forms the basis of his practice, dominating his perception and approach to art-making. Having relocated to Germany in 2013, the artist has been uprooted from his source of inspiration, leaving him in an in-between state, neither here nor there.

mixed media Nguyễn Trinh Thi biography Nguyễn Trinh Thi is a Hanoi-based moving image artist. Her diverse practice, transcending the boundaries between cinema, documentary and performance, has consistently engaged with memory and history.

ink/watercolor Nadege David biography Born in 1975 in Poissy, France, Nadege David received an MA in Political Philosophy from the University La Sorbonne in Paris and an MA in Contemporary Political Philosophy from theUniversity of Paris VIII. She was a lecturer in Sociology at the University Marne La Vallée between 1999 and 2005. “Drawing emerges to me as an expression of exchange between images, thoughts, and the languages of real and imagined worlds. These visual appropriations take root in the confrontation with the living, an enthusiasm for the aesthetic potency of certain Asian expressions, the precision of scientific drawing and the fascination for ink and its unpredictable flow.” David’s exhibitions include ‘Experience Sweet and Relaxing Dreams’ - Mai’s Gallery, Ho Chi Minh City, ‘Of Reveries and Obsessions’ and ‘Soil-Less®’- Galerie Quynh, Ho Chi Minh City works This artist currently has no available work at Manzi works Fais-nous naître aux cieux du dedans, (Deliver Us Afresh to Skies) NADEGE DAVID 2019 36 x 51 cm ink on paper Enquire works Fais-nous naître aux cieux du dedans, (Deliver Us Afresh to Skies) NADEGE DAVID 2019 36 x 51 cm ink on paper Enquire related My Zootopia The sky is the same everywhere Catching Faces Faint Traces the sky, the sand, the lashing waves following the stone wall and we found an electric generator 6𝒗➡️¹/² The world as a draft The Fifth Cardinal Direction Spatium 47 Days, Sound-less in spaces of everyscape, at time without end </3 Hồi Sóng Birdsong on our pathway vol. 4 Entrusted Conjectures Hanoi 1985 - 2015, In The Years Of Forgetting Then and Now, Hanoi streets in transition 'Neo-Romanticism' More than Human #1 Arca Noa no-think The Four Subjects A saga of unrealised projects what's going on at Manzi

Hà Đàoan open studio by Ha Dao </3 - May 19, 2024 April 20, 2024 Hà Đào </3 - an open studio by Ha Dao , a photographer, writer and programme coordinator at Matca. </3 introduces works grounded in real tragedies learned through the press and social media. As media sensations, both stories feature a female outlaw as the protagonist. Amassing two uncommon fates, </3 deals with romance, heartbreak and crime in Vietnam's recent past. Entrenched are her ongoing inquiries into the creative and ethical implications of the camera, or more specifically, of appropriating stories not of one's own. __________________ Juggling with a variety of visual information (photographs, audio recordings, video footages, found and reconstructed materials), in this open studio, Hà proposes A NARRATIVE CONTEXT in which the pure function endowed in the photography almost proved futile: the large volume of visual statement is exposed, the voice of knowledge is clear and directly perceived without any filter, vivid details constitute the very raw material of ‘that-has-been’ yet at the same time can very well say nothing at all, as what represented can be immediately yielded to our perception but extremely elusive once one aims to process them to grasp the whole story. Such interesting narrative context, in turn, provokes questions about what was not allowed/impossible to be represented, about the "blind field "- parts of the scene outside the frame, and reiterates an often overlooked issue of our age which is unfailingly manipulated by mass consumption of information and social media: every photograph/recording only tells a part of the story. The pursuit of truth (in terms of informational aspect ) is impossible here, </3 , however, invites us - in a role of SPECTATOR to embark on a journey of exploring the 'sentimental’ reasons which interested Roland Barthes: 'I want to explore it not as a Question or a Theme but as a Wound: I see, I feel, hence I notice, I observe and I think. " (Camera Lucida) Artist's website: ha-dao.com ARTWORKS GALLERY All things considered (2019) This body of works is based on a murder case in Bình Dương in 2017. The so-called crime of passion made national headlines because of its grotesque yet compelling details. Out of jealousy and in selfdefense, a woman named Hàng Thị Hồng Diễm killed her husband and dismembered his body at their home in a factory worker dormitory. She recounted what happened on that fateful night during the four-hour trial. I was drawn to the discrepancy between the graphic description and deadpan photographic documentation in news reports: captioned as the crime scene, a seemingly innocent street corner, trash cans, and home interiors took on new meanings, providing evidence for the incident without witnesses. Adopting the role of a private investigator as if in a twisted game, I set out to capture observed and staged situations in various locations in Bình Dương. Combining audio excerpted from the trial, this work endeavors to recreate the incident based on the testimony of the woman/convict. ___________ If Heaven Awaits (2024) The video work portrays the Hải Phòng born and bred Dung Hà (Vũ Hoàng Dung) , a notorious gangster who used to monopolize gambling sites, adopt a masculine appearance and openly date women.Together with illegal activities, her sexuality was the subject of discussion and ridicule in the public eye. She was shot point-blank by her rival in the year 2000; the assassination shook Vietnam’s underworld. A fictional rendezvous between the long-gone Dung Hà and her old flame, rumored to be her one true love, plays out along the 2000s pop ballad 'Đêm Nay Anh Mơ Về Em (“Dreaming of You Tonight”). Adopting the aesthetic of music videos from this era, the work centers lesbian longing and butch/transmasculine expressions against the backdrop of heteronormative pop culture. Confronted by the distance of time and the impossibility of knowing, I turn to imagination as a strategy to construct stories about the price of love intertwined with battles for survival. Imagination also offers a certain freedom to explore and resurface fragments of memories that have been either lost or silenced. And yet while delving into intellectual musings and grappling with my own doubts about what images can and should do, I find myself returning to the question: How much could we know about the lives of others?
