Drawing from the work of scholars such as Sylvia Shin Huey Chong and artists like Dinh Q. Lê, the presentation of Éléonore Tran investigates the merging of fictional and documentary imagery and its impact on cultural memory. She offers a critical reflection on the images produced in and about Vietnam during the American War (1955–1975). In contrast, Võ An Khánh’s rarely exhibited black-and-white photographs — reveal the everyday realities of those who lived, resisted, and survived in the mangrove forests of Vietnam.

As part of the closing of the group exhibition Tales Without Time – Poetry of Storytelling at Galerie Zink, Paris-based gallerist and curator Le Thien-Bao will prepare a traditional Northern Vietnamese Phở—Vietnam’s beloved noodle soup—inviting guests to share a moment of warmth, connection, and conversation.

Galerie Bao reopens its doors at 49 avenue Parmentier with the inaugural exhibition “The Reason Is A Dog. The Reason Is A Flower.” by Vietnamese artist Hằng Hằng. Known for her poetic performances and immersive installations, the artist transforms memory and intimacy into shared landscapes where language, place, and time intertwine. The exhibition runs from 12 September to 4 October 2025 — with free entrance.

How do artists use the aesthetics of disgust to challenge social norms? Disgust has been interpreted as an evolutionary tool of survival to create distance between ourselves and that which may harm us, particularly foods. In their work, Nguyễn Duy Mạnh, Anna Ting Möller and New Red Order confront the putrid and the squalid, questioning the boundaries of taste, culture, and perception.

Galerie BAO and Poussières de Vie proudly present Echoes of Silence, a solo exhibition by Huỳnh Công Nhớ, a self-taught artist whose work bridges the realms of painting and cinema.

Continuing the 'Surviving in The Art World' talk series, we present the Talk: “The dynamic of relationships between artists, galleries and institutions”. This conversation raises the eternal question about the connection of different actors in the art network.
