Opening Reception: Tuesday, October 30, 2007, 6 - 8 p.m.
This exhibition seeks to introduce a new phase of Vietnamese art
and culture to Western audiences. It will acquaint viewers with a
portrait of contemporary Vietnam, as seen primarily through the
work of its painters, sculptors and fashion designers.
Working closely with artists living in Vietnam, St. John’s
University hopes to maintain the links with traditional culture
while promoting and entertaining an excellent selection of these
new art talents to the United States for everyone to enjoy. Various
activities will coincide with the exhibition including screenings,
lectures, panels and round table discussions hosted by the Curator,
the Yeh Gallery, the Department of Fine Arts as well as other
departments from the St. John's College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences.
