“Toa V - Scientific Touchpoint” - a dialogue between art and human intelligence

The exhibition “The Foliage V - The Touch of Science ” organized by VinFuture Foundation and Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA) takes place from December 2 to February 28 at Vincom Mega Mall Royal City, 72A Nguyen Trai, Thanh Xuan Ward, Hanoi.

Opening of the exhibition “The Foliage V - The Touch of Science”.

The exhibition brings together 9 representative artists of Vietnamese contemporary art, with diverse practices, together to re-question the position of humans in the vast ecosystem of knowledge and life through invested and large-scale works.

Station 1: Seed of Life | Agricultural Science is a series of works by the late artist Le Thiet Cuong. Beginning with the memory of rice grains - a symbol of rice civilization, this space takes viewers back to the origin of the world, where life originates from silence, from the microscopic movements of the land and crops, before technology became the driving force of the era.

Coming to station 2: Life/Medicine for Humanity, the perspective of artists Le Giang and Le Dang Ninh will take the audience deep into the biological world , where the fragility but resilience of the human body is reflected from childbirth, healing to efforts to protect life.

Unlike the usual linear display model, the exhibition space is organized as an “open mind map”. Viewers are encouraged to create their own itinerary to enjoy and contemplate through 5 “stations” – corresponding to 5 important scientific thinking areas.

Station 3: Future Structures/Materials is where artists Bui Quoc Khanh and Do Ha Hoai redefine matter. Here, metal, glass, and molecular structures are "revived," moving on their own and telling the story of a world of intelligent matter.

Next is Station 4: The Consciousness Domain/the realm of intelligence where artists Do Hiep and Pham Minh Hieu use light and data as symbols of intelligence. Here, light is not only a physical phenomenon but also a metaphor for the moment when people overcome the vague darkness to reach new knowledge.

The journey concludes with Station 5: Source of Life/Environmental Science – the convergence point of the journey with artists Vu Binh Minh and Trinh Minh Tien. Here, the works emphasize the inevitable loop: humans cannot be separated from nature. Land, water, atmosphere and energy are dialogic structures, reminding that all technological advances operate within the limits of the planet.

“V-Scientific Touchpoint” is the beginning of profound dialogues.

“Toa V - The Touch of Science” is the beginning of deeper dialogues between fields, between knowledge systems and between humans and the world we are creating, while also suggesting new directions for the practice of art-science (Art-Sci) in Vietnam. The exhibition is an affirmation that science is not only knowledge, but also inspiration. When art meets science, the most complex ideas of humanity become closer, touching the heart and awakening the imagination of each of us.

Along with the exhibition is a series of diverse experiential activities such as art talks and art tours, aiming to bring scientific and artistic concepts closer to the public.
