Discovering Japanese arts in HCM City

The “Future journey: Japan’s new generation of fine arts” exhibition opened at the Labour Culture Palace in HCM City on June 12. This is the first time Japanese contemporary artworks have been introduced to Vietnamese audiences officially and in a large-scale event.
As many as 42 contemporary art works by 11 Japanese artists are on display at the exhibition. The works, including paintings, sculptures, installations, photographs and video clips, focused on the daily life, highlighting the artists’ own sentiments and philosophies.
The exhibition is jointly organized by the Japanese Consulate-General in HCM City and the Japan Foundation Centre for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam.
Artworks are inspired by daily life, and they reflect the characters of each artist.
The event is scheduled to last until June 21.
Before going to HCM City, the exhibition was held in Hanoi from May 14-24.
