From ADGE:
FRANKENSTEIN is one of the most potent modern myths. TNT
revives its internationally acclaimed production in autumn 2014. Too many
stage versions and even films ignore that this story is not a novel but a
myth that has grown out of Mary Shelley’s original; so our production combines
Boris Karloff’s immense impact with that of the original story to create a
fascinating and entertaining new work. This FRANKENSTEIN is a Gothic comedy
and a gripping a horror thriller that explores the darker themes within the
myth. Should scientific research be held back by irrational prejudice or
religious belief? Is human cloning or stem cell research immoral? Should
humanity seek to create artificial life? Can science ever be restrained?
These pressing questions are explored through melodrama, high
comedy and spine-tingling terror as the Monster is revealed in all his lonely
suffering. There is even time for a love story – who is the true Bride of
Frankenstein?
Frankenstein 2015 2 re
The play is directed by Paul Stebbings who has explored this
style of “serious” Gothic comedy in productions such as the MURDER OF
SHERLOCK HOLMES, BRAVE NEW WORLD, A CHRISTMAS CAROL, THE WAVE and DR JEKYL
& MR HYDE, which have been hugely successful, winning prizes at the
Edinburgh Festival and performing in over forty countries in Europe and Asia.
FRANKENSTEIN incorporates music and sound effects by noted composer Paul
Flush that weaves through the drama in the manner of a film score. The
theatrical style is highly visual and the pace fast and furious. The
production appeals to a wide audience, including those whose first language
is not English. This powerful work reveals why the name ‘Frankenstein’
resonates in the modern world like few others. FRANKENSTEIN is perhaps our
most potent symbol for our fear of a future beyond human control.

VinGallery

The wonderful paintings of Doan Xuan Tang will be centre stage
at our first exhibition of 2015. His beautiful studies of
The streaks in his paintings are like a veil through which we
see the present day and all of their history. The look in their eyes asks
‘what will happen next’.
His works have made their way into private collections all
over the world. Tang’s work is that of a first class, maturing artist whose
style is developing as he finds new ways to express the emotions behind the
themes.
In contrast we have the constructionist works of Indonesian
artists Agung Tato and Heri Cahyono. These powerful images represent
architecture as art, using elements from the built environment to reflect on
cultural issues. They are hugely engaging and surprisingly emotive.
This exhibition is the

Exhibition “Dan – Movements”
Opening: Sun 01 Feb 2015, 4.30 – 6 pm
Exhibition: 01 – 05 Feb 2015
66 Nguyen Thai Hoc Str,
At the age of thirty three, Nguyen Duc Dan is confident enough
to launch his first solo lacquer exhibition with 55 artworks created in the
last three years. Born in a delta district (My Duc, Ha Tay), Nguyen Duc Dan
pursues lacquer art career only with his own passion. In 2002, Nguyen Duc Dan
started learning lacquer paiting in Traditional Fine Art Deparment, Hanoi
University of Industrial Fine Arts. Graduating in 2007, Dan became a
freelance artist, devoted entirely to painting and lives on the proceeds of
his works.
Gradually, the artist has developed his own style which
combines reality and expression inspired by traditional roots, similar to the
material that he is pursuing. That orientation is “the culture of mother
tongue, the voice I speak, the rice I eat, the plots of old memories, the
present life …”. He realized that, apart from the mood absorbed in his
generation, there is an endless source of themes inspired from the ancestral
art, such as ancient literature, Thanh Giong, the Kieu story … In his solo
exhibition, a series of artworks inspired from the character – Thuy Kieu in
the Kieu Story will be featured. Most of these paintings illustrates Kieu
playing the lute in contradictory moods, in condensed form and obsessive
color…
In his first solo exhibition, Nguyen Duc Dan expresses his
effort and love for art, in addition to all the greatness and nonperformance.
However, the source of traditional culture is endless. We all believe that
Nguyen Duc Dan is moving on the right path.

born in the year of the cat (1975). Duong says his paintings are like his
dreams brought to life. Made in his recognizable Action Painting style, the
sixteen paintings of Duong’s latest collection vividly show that this cat
does indeed dream in color.

Phuong My Flagship Store
81 Le Thanh Ton, Dist 1, HCMC
Wood-flux – a wooden flow – seems to be a contradictory phrase
for how can something as sturdy as wood also stream so fervently. Such a
concept indeed recalls a Japanese genre of woodblock prints on silk and paper
– ‘Ukiyo-e’ – meaning ‘pictures of the floating world’. Inspired by the
caliber of Ukiyo-e woodblock and the textile pattern of PHUONG MY’s Spring
Summer 2015 collection, artist Nguyễn Hữu Trâm Kha showcases various
fascinations of a ‘Wood-flux’.
Both Trâm Kha and Phuong My love utilizing contrasts in
subject, material, form, and composition. For example, Phuong My has a
Japanese textile designer create delicate and feminine patterns; she then
weaves them into particular rigid fabric to style powerful silhouettes.
Meanwhile, Trâm Kha meticulously carves a wooden surface – a solid medium –
to characterize flora and abstract creatures as if they are floating.
In the past, Ukiyo-e required collaboration between artist,
engraver, printer, and publisher. In contemporary art and design, such
collaboration still plays an important role. Trâm Kha designs the artwork for
the carver who executes her drawings in these woodblock sculptures. The
Japanese designer creates textile pattern inspired by Phuong My’s ideas of
femininity and nature; and then Phuong My will utilize that print design
across her whole subsequent collection. In this forthcoming collaboration
between Phuong My and visual artist, Trâm Kha, the history of the ukiyo-e
woodblock aligns harmoniously with Phuong My’s print textile. One unique
woodblock can produce multiple prints, just as one unique textile pattern can
be shaped into multiple garment pieces for a collection. This is an essential
relation between originality and reproduction in art and fashion design.
The exhibition is curated by Arlette Quỳnh-Anh Trần.
