Glass installation by Vu Dan Tan. The work was part of the exhibition organised by the Italian Embassy in Vietnam, at Viet Art Centre, 2006. Juxtaposing the installation are Tan's paintings in progress.
This photograph was taken after Vu Dan Tan's decision to close off any exhibitions or activities in the Salon. It remained Vu Dan Tan's studio and displayed mainly his arts.
The interior of Salon Natasha had been constantly transformed by Vu Dan Tan. To give the Salon a varying ambience, the artist would change the position of the furniture, the display of art objects, and create site-specific installations. Vu Dan Tan attempted to make the Salon a space more than a gallery; he emphasised its unique and natural combination of a home, an artist’s studio, a venue for friends and art lovers to get together, and an exhibition space.
