mixed media Ngô Văn Sắc biography Born in 1980, Ngo Van Sac graduated from Vietnam University of Fine Arts. Sac’s works reflect the tension between real-life and a fantasy world and the complicated relationships between people while conveying his emotions and sharing his stories. He employs a variety of mediums such as wood cut, wood burn combined with newspaper, sand or acrylic to create renderings of figures, texture and contrast between black and white. Each component of his art tells a story. Concrete figurative details and simple empty spaces refer to both real and imagined life as well as to dreams. Besides having participated in many international group exhibitions (in Thailand, Malaysia, Hongkong, the Netherlands), Ngo Van Sac has held numerous notable solo exhibitions, most recently including: ‘Slices’ – Craig Thomas Gallery, Ho Chi Minh city – 2017; ‘In the midst of Life 2’ – A Gallery, Ho Chi Minh city – 2016; ‘Between Two Generations’ – The East Gallery, Toronto, Canada - 2013 works This artist currently has no available work at Manzi works Portrait #2 NGÔ VĂN SẮC 2024 40 x 50 cm mixed media on wood Enquire works Indochina #4 NGÔ VĂN SẮC 2024 40 x 50 cm mixed media on wood Enquire works Faded IV NGÔ VĂN SẮC 2023 30 x 30 cm mixed media on canvas Enquire works Childhood memories series NGÔ VĂN SẮC 2016 D: 30 cm mixed media on wood Enquire works Childhood memories series NGÔ VĂN SẮC 2016 D: 30 cm mixed media on wood Enquire works Childhood memories series NGÔ VĂN SẮC 2016 D: 30 cm mixed media on wood Enquire works Childhood memories series NGÔ VĂN SẮC 2016 D: 30 cm mixed media on wood Enquire works Portrait #1 NGÔ VĂN SẮC 2024 40 x 50 cm mixed media on wood Enquire works Indochina #2 NGÔ VĂN SẮC 2024 40 x 50 cm mixed media on wood Enquire works Childhood memories series NGÔ VĂN SẮC 2019 30 x 40 cm mixed media on wood Enquire works Childhood memories series NGÔ VĂN SẮC 2016 D: 30 cm mixed media on wood Enquire works Childhood memories series NGÔ VĂN SẮC 2016 D: 30 cm mixed media on wood Enquire works Childhood memories series NGÔ VĂN SẮC 2016 D: 30 cm mixed media on wood Enquire related 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 The dreamer: heterotopia, tabula rasa, noble silence (a part of ongoing project 0395A.ĐC) Through the looking glass what's going on at Manzi Tình See more October 5, 2025 Tình See more October 4, 2025 Bắt mặt | Catching Faces See more October 4, 2025 Tình See more October 3, 2025 Artist Talk vs Nguyễn Thị Thanh Mai See more September 27, 2025 Art Tour | Những Vệt Mờ / Faint Traces See more September 10, 2025 Những Vệt Mờ | Faint Traces See more September 6, 2025 Between the Strings See more August 5, 2025 sóng vỗ cát trời | the sky, the sand, the lashing waves See more August 1, 2025 Nguyên (âm) đơn See more July 20, 2025

Nguyễn Thế Sơn Trần Hậu Yên ThếA Duo exhibition by NGUYỄN THẾ SƠN & TRẦN HẬU YÊN THẾ 10.10 - 29.10 - 2013 Nhà Tây Transforms - October 29, 2013 October 10, 2013 Nguyễn Thế Sơn Trần Hậu Yên Thế Duo exhibition by Nguyen The Son & Tran Hau Yen The – an exploration of the physical and moral landscape of Hanoi as it transforms and mutates into the 21st century. In his previous body of work, Nha Mat Pho (Houses facing the street), Son addressed the social issues of the rampant materialism of the society, the discrepancy of wealth between the rich and the poor, and the imposing Western commoditization of the people. In this latest series 'Nhà Tây Transforms', Son continues his research of the transformations of the urban landscapes. Fellow artist, researcher Yen The adds yet another historical layer to this discovery of the life of the Nhà Tây (Western Villa). Following the maps and drawings of the French intellectual Henri Oger, who in 1908-1909 created 4,577 drawings of every aspect of the lives of the inhabitants, Yen The creates his own layer of analysis of the lifestyle of the inhabitants and the original façade of the villa. With this 'Nhà Tây Transforms', Nguyen the Son and Yen The leave the viewer alone with their perceptions of how life is transformed by progress as it is named, and the repercussions of this modernity upon society.

silk Phan Minh Bạch biography Born in 1979, Phan Minh Bach graduated from the Vietnam University of Fine Arts in 2004. After more than ten years working as a graphic designer and layout artist at Tien Phong newspaper, she left to pursue her art full-time, quickly establishing herself as a prominent contemporary silk painter. Influenced and guided by her father - artist Phan Bao, a painter, history and culture researcher, from a young age, Phan Minh Bach was exposed to traditional brushes and practiced calligraphy and classical ink painting. Based on her thorough education, the feminine aesthetic sensibility, and ideas influenced by Taoism's philosophy of natural spontaneity, Phan Minh Bach has developed an idiosyncratic approach to silk: both skillfully controlled and randomly wild and loose. The figures in her works have a minimalist forms insinuating an effortless action, the authenticity and simplicity. The required techniques and journey to master the medium, on the other hand, are an extended labor and calculation with each brushstroke marking then being washed away relentlessly - a long process demanding an equilibrium of meticulousness, delicacy and boldness. Following that process, the themes of Phan Minh Bach's works also record her journey of discovery about the ego, the ‘non-being’ as well as presence of femininity outside the limits of human existence, in the primitive era, merely based on space-time reference of the universe. In recent years, Bạch has been actively involved in several group exhibitions in Hanoi and has also held her first solo exhibition, Mây Ngỏ (Open Clouds), at ART30 Gallery in 2023. works This artist currently has no available work at Manzi works Primitive beings 9 PHAN MINH BẠCH 2024 Dye-Na-Flow color pigments & golden leaf on silk 50 x 70 cm Enquire related 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 The dreamer: heterotopia, tabula rasa, noble silence (a part of ongoing project 0395A.ĐC) Through the looking glass what's going on at Manzi Tình See more October 5, 2025 Tình See more October 4, 2025 Bắt mặt | Catching Faces See more October 4, 2025 Tình See more October 3, 2025 Artist Talk vs Nguyễn Thị Thanh Mai See more September 27, 2025 Art Tour | Những Vệt Mờ / Faint Traces See more September 10, 2025 Những Vệt Mờ | Faint Traces See more September 6, 2025 Between the Strings See more August 5, 2025 sóng vỗ cát trời | the sky, the sand, the lashing waves See more August 1, 2025 Nguyên (âm) đơn See more July 20, 2025

Jamie Maxtone-GrahamPhotography by JAMIE MAXTONE - GRAHAM 30.03 - 30.04.2013 The Desiring Garden - April 29, 2013 March 29, 2013 Jamie Maxtone-Graham The photography exhibition ‘The Desiring Garden’ showcases a series of fascinating works by Jamie Maxtone-Graham, an American photographer based in Hanoi. Produced within intensely urban Hanoi, Vietnam, the images in The Desiring Garden are the record of a place that exists between the projected and the perceived. "The images in The Desiring Garden prey on the Western perception of the exotic; a Rousseau-like play on an environment – here, the urban center of Hanoi - in which certain indigenous species of plants, some items of human utility and sources of nourishment are presented together in some arrangement alongside people with an uncertain relationship to these objects. The physical view of the people inhabiting the frame, observed within these embellished environments, is that of an outsider; of one who looks upon the scene - but not in - and, in turn, is unnoticed."

mixed media Trần Trọng Vũ biography Vu is a Vietnamese visual artist born in Hanoi and now lives and works in Paris. His works, beyond their aesthetics, reflect the obsession of the past and the political and human derision. He paints on large transparent plastic sheets and installs them as 3D installations. The modes of presentation themselves maintain an ambiguous relationship with the viewers, who should seek a path through the transparency in between the images, figures and colours. Vu’s works have visual and psychological effects caused by the virtual maze he creates with his choice of material. In 2011, he was awarded the prestigious Pollock-Krasner Grant in New York. works This artist currently has no available work at Manzi works Is it possible #4 TRẦN TRỌNG VŨ 2016 30 x 40 cm medium transparent plastic Enquire related 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 The dreamer: heterotopia, tabula rasa, noble silence (a part of ongoing project 0395A.ĐC) Through the looking glass what's going on at Manzi Tình See more October 5, 2025 Tình See more October 4, 2025 Bắt mặt | Catching Faces See more October 4, 2025 Tình See more October 3, 2025 Artist Talk vs Nguyễn Thị Thanh Mai See more September 27, 2025 Art Tour | Những Vệt Mờ / Faint Traces See more September 10, 2025 Những Vệt Mờ | Faint Traces See more September 6, 2025 Between the Strings See more August 5, 2025 sóng vỗ cát trời | the sky, the sand, the lashing waves See more August 1, 2025 Nguyên (âm) đơn See more July 20, 2025

Conducted by the 28-year-old researcher Tran Quang Duc of the Viet Nam Institute of Literature, this study is described as the most comprehensive research ever undertaken on the subject, and was published by Nha Nam Company and World publishing house earlier this year. "It is an absolute blessing that such valuable resources have been published as a book. Up until now, this is most likely one of the most in-depth and into-details studies on the Vietnamese culture and clothing, both locally and internationally." Researcher Trinh Bach, who has spent many years studying traditional culture, especially Vietnamese royal costumes, is one of many experts to praise the book.

Lương Văn Việt an open studio by Lương Văn Việt Spatium - January 2, 2025 December 20, 2024 Lương Văn Việt SPATIUM - OPEN STUDIO BY SCULPTOR LƯƠNG VĂN VIỆT An unprecedented experimentation with space-time-material-form Manzi Exhibition Space, 2 ngõ Hàng Bún, Ba Đình, Hanoi Free Entrance Phase 1: OPEN WORKING STUDIO - from 20 Dec 2024 to 2 Jan 2025 (10.00 AM - 4.00 PM) For 2 weeks, manzi will turn into a working studio where the artist will complete his large-scale sculpture and handle the installation directly. Visitors are welcomed to watch and record throughout the process. Phase 2: OPEN SCULPTURE-SPACE & INTRODUCE THE WORK - from 5 Jan to 19 Jan (11.00 AM - 07.00 PM) The installation-sculpture artwork, whether completed or unfinished, is open to the public and invites interactions. ______________ Spatium is a Latin word, which roughly translates to "space," encompasses many concepts in many different contexts: it can refer to the general place/room of existence, the physical space governed by natural laws, or the area intervened and covered - a significant quantity that must be calculated and considered in architecture and construction. When used in more abstract contexts, the term ‘spatium' serves as the root for notions and theories in social studies or philosophy, referring to the voids, gaps, and factors that define the distance or connection, as well as specific theory in ontology about perception and reality. Spatium by Lương Văn Việt, which literally comes into being right inside Manzi Exhibition Space, is not just a sculptural practice but rather a space-shaping and space-questioning exercise in numerous aspects. This exhibition room that hosted more than 30 different showcases and installations with works of various forms and materials continuously residing and moving out over the last 5 years, inevitably have been marked with all traces of intervention in the space: erecting and demolishing, hanging on the ceiling and digging down the floor. Now, the entire space is flattened literally, all the holes be filled and the marks be covered, all the walls be repainted in white, only white - a thorough stripping and cleaning in a way of going back to the beginning, a return to the pure state: empty and clear. A blank space. It prepares and waits. Large corten steel plates, then are hauled in, bent, and put together into a single artwork hanging on a support system, allowing visitors to walk around, lean down, and look into it. All steps of this procedure are carried out in just one place, which have fused all creative spaces - artist’s studio, installation/construction site and an exhibition room - into a singular existence. By this way, a place will actively nurture and create an object instead of passively waiting to be occupied and taken over. Space determines the structural form and presence of the displayed object; conversely, a piece of sculpture, when moving and adapting in space, also simultaneously rewrites the surrounding rhythm and regulates the breath of that place. In this sense, a sculpture is no longer labeled as a distinct and unchanging unit or a singular presence defined only by shape, weight, and volume against a white background, but rather the space itself, including the container and the contained, the occupied and the blank, the solids and voids, being and nothingness, all constitute a sculpture. Aside from such experimenting with interpretations in work of art, installation & sculpture, this adventure at manzi also unveils numerous possibilities within the gaps that exist between idea and reality, concept and creation , as well as between industrial materials and manual techniques , technical calculations and aesthetic values. The variable is also generated from the approach of Spatium : such the rotation, the duality of creating and exhibiting spaces, and the dimensions of experiences within them. Artist studio - the working environment which used to be determined by the artist's internal, psychological, and private experiences, in this case, have been transformed into an external, social, and public area that is responsive and uncertain. Spatium at Manzi, therefore, is a brave and unconventional endeavour by an audacious artist who believes strongly in the creative process itself. Like a dedicated traveler, Viet walks tirelessly on a journey but not for a final destination; unflinchingly he embraces all the encounters and revelations along the way, whether they come in the form of challenges or setbacks.
