Production Technology

The five story building overlooking West Lake hosts art events and new creative projects by Thu Thuy. The first floor is decorated with murals painted with acrylic representing the signature flowers of the capital. On the second floor, Thu Thuy displays mini editions of her significant public artworks. The third and fourth floors are galleries featuring works by Vietnamese and foreign painters and photographers including lacquer and oil paintings by Thu Thuy.

Design Challenge

The challenge was to transform an entire building into a demonstration of public art, including floors, stairs and ceilings. This required a high level of creative energy to find the best style and technique. Which topics are suitable for the murals inside the building? What new look would attract visitors? What is the best way to set up an exhibition to promote public artworks?

Project Duration

The New Hanoi Arts House project was initiated on July 19, 2019 in a five story building at 97 Nguyen Dinh Thi, Hanoi. On January 16, 2020 it was opened to the general public.

Operation Flow

The New Hanoi Arts House is reviewing public art projects by Thu Thuy and her company over the past 10 years. This would hopefully inspire others to design and promote public artwork. The exhibits in the New Hanoi Arts House allow visitors to experience the impact of public ceramic murals and painted murals. The photography highlights the development of public arts projects and how they involve artists, private enterprise, schools, groups of citizens and government offices.

Research

Thu Thuy, who has a clear understanding of the role of art in the community, continues to pioneer in creating public pieces that resonate with local people as well as international guests. Being able to develop a deep appreciation for public art is rare in Vietnam, but Thu Thuy is breaking those barriers. New Hanoi Arts House goes behind the scenes and introduces the viewers to the process involved in creating highly valued and creative new approaches to public art.

Inspiration

Based on the positive reviews by the people of Vietnam as well as art critiques around the world, Thu Thuy decided to expand and further develop her public artworks. But how could this be achieved? One idea was to transform every inch of an entire building into a public art exhibition house. All forms of public art needed thoughtful consideration, including murals, photos of Vietnamese landscapes and seascapes, as well as lacquer and oil paintings.
