Selected Materials for Spirit of Hanoi (Set of 4 Photographs)

Preparing and packing of selected artworks and crafts, Vietnamese domestic items (ranging from traditional stools and bicycle to Bat Trang tea cups and tea leaves) from Salon Natasha, home to Vu Dan Tan and Natasha Kraevskaia. These materials were later sent to Finland for recreating the space in 'Spirit of Hanoi'.

'Hanoin Henki' (or 'Spirit of Hanoi') was a visual art project conceptualised and proposed by Pauli Mustonen (Cultural Attaché of the Finnish Embassy of Finland, Vietnam), Maritta Nurmi (Finnish artist resided in Hanoi), and Eric Leroux (French artist and frequent collaborator with Salon Natasha), on the occasion of the Asian Art and Culture Festival in Finland. The curatorial team intended to present to the audience an ecology of the Vietnamese art scene, namely the interconnections between art creation, daily life, artist/public interaction and collaboration; as well as the co-existence and exchanges between traditions and modernity in various art forms. Salon Natasha — a multi-functional artist-run space — was hence chosen to be represented and reconstructed as an installation in the Festival.
The project was presented in two exhibitions held in Helsinki and Oulu respectively.
