Nearly 100 sculptures at Hanoi Sculpture Exhibition

The exhibition " Hanoi - Saigon Sculpture 2024" brings together a massive volume of nearly 100 works by 37 sculptors of many generations, from many regions across the country, including familiar faces and the appearance of new names. The highlight this year is the dialogue between old and new in an effort to determine the position of modern sculpture in the general process of Vietnamese sculpture.

Inheriting the heritage of visual language as well as unique indigenous cultures, modern sculptors continue and expand their creative tendencies with resources of the new era. These include unique materials such as synthetic materials, metals, stones, fibers, expanding foam, everyday objects, etc.; with rich inspiration from themes such as love or nature, to current, personalized thoughts and contemplations. This also partly reflects the diverse and multi-dimensional developments of Vietnamese sculpture today.

The Hanoi - Saigon Sculpture Exhibition 2024 brings together nearly 100 works from 37 sculptors nationwide.

Throughout the month, the "Hanoi - Saigon Sculpture 2024" Exhibition will gather artists and the art community to exchange, discuss, and share about their careers, as well as inspire the next generations to go further in their personal careers, gradually shaping the future of Vietnamese sculpture.

In addition, VCCA also organizes art education activities such as: Talks, workshops... to help the public more easily access the spirit and message of the exhibition in particular and the art form of sculpture in general.

The exhibition "Hanoi - Saigon Sculpture" is a program held every two years, alternating between the North and South since 2010, aiming to connect and share the artistic life in the two regions of the country as well as stimulate creative efforts and expand the voice of sculpture. With the desire to actively contribute to this process, VCCA introduces the exhibition to the art-loving community for the second time, continuing to affirm its efforts to accompany the Hanoi - Saigon Sculpture group in the development and construction of a new look for modern Vietnamese sculpture.
