Metropole Nomade will be carried out over three years, from 2012 – 2014 in various locations in three continents, Asia, Europe and Latin America.
The project has opened with the participation of five French artists: Abigail Nunes, Annie Barel, Elli Drouilleau, Eric Huynh, Pat Cam; four Brazilian artists: Erica Bettiol, Flavia Sammarone, Fabiana Mitsue, Flavia Vivacqua and six Vietnamese artists: Nguyen Tran Cuong, Nguyen Ngoc Phuong, Tran Gia Tung, Tran Trung Thanh, Vu Duc Trung and Hoang Duy Vang.
The theme of the project is “Movement”. The project aims at creating a group installation with participation of artists from three countries: Vietnam, France and Brazil. There will be several stages; each group of artists will further develop the initial idea, which later will be assembled into an installation work. The idea is not fixed; it could be changed through the working process and up to the artist’s creativeness and imagination.
The concept “Movements” has many meanings. It could be interpreted as ‘the going, the moving of action and ideas”, it could also be understood as a Trend – a change that have impacts on community or society. On the broader context, “Movements” aims at encouraging artists to achieve freedom and individual exposure through artworks, they can use all techniques and art forms, such as painting, printing, sculpture, photography, video, performance art etc.
The purpose of project “Metropole Nomade” is to encourage creativity and teamwork, the development of artistic ideas creating process with serious attitude before introducing artwork to the public.
“Metropole Nomade” is an open project, which is challenging and ambitious. Artists in each group will have a chance to introduce their work to a broad audience. They will then be able to further develop the ability to create artwork and to communicate with the international community, thus increasing their artistic capacity and awareness.
