Post-Doi Moi: Vietnamese Art after 1990

The exhibition Post-Doi Moi: Vietnamese Art after 1990 is held as part of the National Heritage Board’s Vietnam Festival 2008 in celebration of the 35th anniversary of Singapore-Vietnam diplomatic ties. It features over 60 paintings, sculptures and video works under four themes – Reminiscence, Land, Individual and Transformation. These themes are related to the art developments that took place in the Vietnam after the implementation of the Doi Moi (Renovation) campaign in 1986. The premise of the show is based on the assumption that the effect of the policy was evidenced by the establishment of the first private gallery in Hanoi in 1990. This implied that a free enterprise structure had emerged with the presence of an art market.
