Galerie BAO, a gallery dedicated to Vietnamese contemporary art in Paris, founded by curator Le Thien Bao two years ago, has just opened its new facility at 49 Avenue Pamentier Paris 11 on September 12, 2025, with an exhibition combining performance art and installation art by Vietnamese artist Hang Hang, currently living in Paris.

Hằng Hằng calls her installation a “garden”. The word feels familiar, reassuring, but nothing here resembles a place of greenery or rest. The gallery is immersed in an intense saturated chroma-blue, the very same blue once used for video backdrops. One feels that everything here could be erased, replaced, rewritten.
