Australia in Vietnam’ Facebook page
|
|
(CPV) - Australian Ambassador to Vietnam, Mr Hugh Borrowman, launched a competition on October 2 to design a logo representing the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Australia and Vietnam in 2013.
The logo will be used at Australian Government events and in publications marking the anniversary. He also launched the new “Australia in Vietnam” Facebook page.
Through the logo competition, which will run from now to November 30, the Embassy seeks creative designs that reflect the key message that the two nations have a 40-year partnership marked by friendship and cooperation in many areas, which continues to grow and has a bright future. The competition winner will receive an iPad 3, and the most ‘liked’ logo on Facebook will receive an iPod.
The Facebook page will help the Embassy share information about events it’s organising in Vietnam to celebrate the anniversary, and will provide information about other Australian Government and Australian Embassy activities such as information about scholarships the Australian Government is providing to Vietnamese students, high level visits, Australia’s aid program in Vietnam, other Australian Government grants programs, cooperation between Australia and Vietnam in trade, defence, education, policing and agricultural research.
Besides sharing the experiences of Vietnamese people living in Australia, it will keep viewers up to date on developments within Australia that are relevant to Vietnam, and provide information about places in Australia and Australian culture.
“The relationship between Australia and Vietnam has come a long way in the last 40 years. It has become a very broad and deep relationship, and I look forward to seeing logo designs that reflect this. It’s a relationship marked by strong links between Australian and Vietnamese people. I hope the new Facebook site will help build more of these links, and I encourage Vietnamese people to ‘like’ us”, shared Mr Ambassador Borrowman.
Logo competition rules can be found on the website http://www.vietnam.embassy.gov.au

Hanoi prepair for “Venus in Vietnam” exhibition
|
|
(CPV) – An exhibition titled “Venus in Vietnam” will take place on Wednesday, October 3rd, at the Goethe Institute in Hanoi.
The exhibition includes installation and sculptural works by Vu Dan Tan and recent pieces by Nguyen Nghia Cuong focusing on female iconography and sexuality. The exhibition compares and contrasts the works of two Hanoi artists a generation apart.
The exhibition marks the third anniversary of Vu Dan Tan’s death, an extraordinary artist who is considered one of the leading artists of Vietnam’s post-Doi Moi scene.
The exhibition features works by Vu Dan Tan (1946 -2009) that have never been shown in Vietnam: Delicate cardboard suits and miniature installations of female figures in glass-lidded cigarette boxes. They represent two important series of Vu Dan Tan’s works, the Venus and Fashion series. Some of these sculptures were exhibited in Germany (2001), and later included in major exhibitions in Japan, Holland and Singapore, but in Vietnam, they were known only to friends and other artists who dropped into “Salon Natasha” while Tan was working on them.
Vu Dan Tan whose multi-media cross-disciplinary practice broke new ground in the 1980s with its conceptual and playful use of found materials, is now recognized as a pioneer in Vietnamese and Southeast Asian contemporary avant-garde art. This exhibition offers access to a facet of his work still generally unknown in Vietnam.
The present exhibition showcases works focusing on female iconography and sexuality, and these two themes’ expanded meaning in the social and cultural context of late twentieth century-early 21st century Vietnam.
Vu Dan Tan’s key works of the last decade, juxtaposed with new works by Nguyen Nghia Cuong, together offer a so far little-explored but relevant perspective, in art history, on the role played by gender, sexuality and women in Vietnamese visual art of the turn of the century./.
