(VNF) - Zero Station of HCM City this month launched a new project called In/VISIBLE (AIS) Station that brings together 45 Asian artists and curators in the region.

Nguyen Nhu Huy, curator and art director of local popular art space Zero Station, has said the upcoming art event “The In/Visible Station” is expected to attract nearly 20 curators and artists, experts, and critics from Asia and 25 young artists from Vietnam to meet one another and join a one-year project.

The project, initiated by Zero Station and sponsored by the Japan Foundation Asia Center, is aimed at creating multi-directional and multi-layered discussions between Vietnam, South East Asia and Japan, he said. “Through this project, Vietnamese artists can meet, exchange and carry out art projects together with foreign partners. They don’t need to go abroad to show their talent.”

The project will host talks, seminars, art experiments and product launches in new and free fashions. The artists’ works will be displayed in Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia.

Some prominent Vietnamese artists joining the project are Phan Quang (contemporary photographer), Luu Thi Hoai Trang (performance art), Le Thanh Tung (visual mapping), Nguyen Duc Tu (video artist), and Truong Minh Quy (filmmaker).

Asian art centers that are sending their artists to Vietnam to join the project are New Zero Space (Myanmar), Art Conversation Chiengmai (Thailand), Koganecho Bazaar, 3331 Arts Chiyoda (Japan), Post-Museum (Singapore), and Lost Generation (Malaysia).

In HCMC, all the programs take place at Ca phe thu Bay, Chaosdowntown, Artfolio, and Japanese Elites Club./.
