An experimental gateway connecting Southeast Asian artists with the world
On the map of Saigon's galleries, Vin Gallery plays the role of a gateway for experimental and conceptual practices. The gallery positions itself around artists with "experimental and conceptual leanings". When you come here, be prepared to meet works that ask questions rather than please the eye: from painting and sculpture to installation art. This is one of the Vietnamese galleries most actively present at art fairs across Asia, with a double aim: to bring international artists with a 'critical practice' to the Saigon public, and at the same time to discover promising Southeast Asian artists and take them onto the international stage. The gallery's artists come from many different cultures and artistic educations. In 2024, the gallery's artist duo Orejarena & Stein was selected for the Foam Talents programme of the Foam photography museum in Amsterdam Admission is free. As this is a small space run around an exhibition schedule, check the information on the gallery's website before you go. If a work leaves you puzzled, do not hesitate to ask the artists here; spaces of this size are usually where conversations about art happen most easily.
