Is Origami considered a high art? How about illustration and design? What is art and the criteria used to evaluate it? These are the questions that have been asked throughout a year of working with young artists from various fields such as graphic design, illustration, Internet art… Six Space and the young artists have tried to open up different possibilities for artistic practice. An interesting point for this working process is young artists’ tendency to look for cultural and historical values, as well as the tendency to make art more accessible to the general public through direct interaction with their works. This could be considered a popular trend due to the rapid growth of globalization, information technology and the Internet. Art practice nowadays are surely different from the way artists used to work in the past.
Nguyen Ngoc Vu (born in 1991) is known as The Rabbit Boy (Cau Be Tho) for his Origami works and other projects that combine Origami and technology such as graphic and video design. This exhibition is the result of more than a year Vu started to have interest in Tuong (Vietnamese classical opera) and develop his concepts. Vu would love to learn and explore the cultural and historical values, which gradually fall into oblivion, and tried to express them through his youthful and artistic approach to bring these forgotten values closer to the audience, especially young people.
 PLAY – Visual Experiment by Nguyen Ngoc Vu will open on 30 Mar  and be on display until 06 Apr 2017, 10 am – 5 pm at Six Space, 6th floor, 94B Tran Hung Dao, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi.
