This event is co-organized by Kim Ji Hye—an independent Korean curator and Nguyen Thanh Truc—a Vietnamese artist and member of the HCMC Fine Arts Association. The project has support from the consulate general of the Republic of Korea in HCMC and the HCMC Fine Arts University.
Eight Korean artists and three Vietnamese artists have produced 18 works ranging from paintings, installation art, and video art.
“Coming to Vietnam for the first time, we found durian to be a very strange fruit, yet we grew to like it. It’s the same for the artists from the two countries when they first met. It went from differences to harmony. This exhibition is just one step for Korean and Vietnamese artists to interact and understand each other,” said Kim.
The group of Seoul-based artists held a talk with a slideshow of art last week and an exhibition called Fluctuating Variation at ZeroStation, 91 A Dinh Tien Hoang St., Binh Thanh District.
