HCM CITY — Two exhibitions featuring creations by artists Tammy Nguyễn, Hà Ninh Phạm and Nguyễn Ngọc Thạch will open at The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre in HCM City on Friday.

The event, Necessary Fictions, will introduce paintings and sculptures in paper, wood and silk by Tammy and Hà Ninh, who discover people through their dreams, hopes and desires.

Both artists' works highlight the world of humans, flora and fauna.

The two artists will organise a talk show with viewers to share their art and experiences at the centre on Saturday.

Artist Thạch's concerns about ethical issues are shown through his work called Broken Relationships.

In his paintings, Thạch introduces his childhood memories about love and life. He also questions traditional Vietnamese values and morals. 

The exhibitions will open at 6pm on August 9 at The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre, 15 Nguyễn Ư Dĩ Street, District 2. Entry is free.

The talk by Tammy and Hà Ninh will begin at 4pm on August 10. Tickets at VNĐ130,000 (US$10) and VNĐ40,000 ($19) for students are available at the centre. — VNS
