Being displayed at the Center for Culture and Art No.22 Hang Buom Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi, is a unique series of contemporary art exhibitions and installations inspired by the Vietnamese heritage and history of 40 individuals and groups of contemporary artists in Hanoi.

The exhibition features eight major art spaces, including the art installation “Fairy Skites”; the artifact show “Memories of 22 Hang Buom”, the lantern installation “Past and Present Meeting”, the art installation “Five Elements”, the 3D Game installation space “Air Skylen”, among others.

Accordingly, the “Fairy Skites” features images of kites created by artists Quan Hang Cao and Le Thanh Binh combined with a sound installation by Artist Tri Minh.

The lacquer, silk, and artworks made from Do paper (the paper is made from the powder of a tree named “do”) in the “Fairy and Dragon” painting exhibition are created based on the image of a fairy riding a dragon in the ancient village communal house carvings in Vietnam.

Meanwhile, the lantern installation “Past and Present Meeting” uses 36 lanterns with the theme of folk paintings. They are drawn with a pencil in combination with the graphic technique by Hanoi-based artist Xuan Lam, awakening a cultural beauty that has been forgotten in modern life.

The installation of “Five Elements” introduces a series of works made by cyanotype printing technique on silk, demonstrating Vietnamese artisans’ skillful craftsmanship and aesthetic ability.

Who Is Anton Zeilinger – One Of The Three Nobel Winner Of Quantum Physics?

Image
Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.
