Time & Realities is a yearly residency project pairing selected artists with curators, both in Vietnam and connected virtually, in the aim of producing new works in non-fixed spaces while collectively exploring hybrid practice.
The event will be broadcast live via Fanpage Goethe-Institut Hanoi.
Facebook-Link to the event
The project, spanning the year of 2021, is composed of four simultaneously produced projects that examine selected notions of “Time” and “Realities”. Mediums of performance, sound, poetry, experimental film, and photography are used as tools to unpack these vast concepts. On the 8th of October at 6PM Vietnam time, the artists and curator’s group will share work-in-progress presentations hosted by the Goethe Institut Hanoi and streamed online live. The evening will include readings, video works, mediated discussions and an interactive Q&A.
