VOV.VN - Twenty-two artistic works by 15 contemporary artists are being displayed at the basement of the National Assembly building in Hanoi.
The multi-material works are displayed along the 500-meter-long tunnel of the National Assembly House. |
The lacquer paintings, graphic works, installation works, sculptures, and brass engraved statues illustrate a new perspective of contemporary art on traditional culture, architecture, and art. |
Large-sized works turn the basement of the National Assembly House into an art museum. |
15 artists and more than 100 technical assistants and skilled workers from craft villages in Hanoi, Thai Binh and Thua Thien – Hue province, worked hard for 3 months to complete the works. |
The temporary art space creates a harmonious connection with the archeological Museum of Thang Long Imperial Citadel and post-Thang Long period. It's like a journey taking visitors from ancient time to the contemporary period. |
Painter Nguyen The Son, Director of the Contemporary Art Space project said the biggest challenge is to create an artistic space in a national political and cultural building. |
The space will be the 1st stop in a tour of the National Assembly House. |
