Our
Events

Chinbo Collective was founded in 2021 in Ho Chi Minh City by a duo of artists, Nguyen Khoi and Chin.

Apart from exhibitions, we also organize short-term residency projects and experimental workshops, focusing on young artists or art enthusiasts. Our purpose is to provide a launching pad for young artists to develop, organize projects for support and nurturing, and help them evaluate their own ideas and practice art in the early stages of their careers.

Follow us to join our new events in the future.

Nguyen Khoi and May Bay launched Undergo, an independent documentary production, in 2023. Every year, the two filmmakers will select one artist living and working in Vietnam to produce a film. The initiative was established to introduce artists to the Vietnamese population.

Ô Art Bar proudly presents the group show "Making A Living", an unprecedented fusion of contemporary art and the art of bartending, discreetly nestled in the heart of Saigon. This opening exhibition showcases the multidisciplinary artworks of three talented young artists - Nguyen Viet Cuong, Nguyen Khoi, and Chin - unveiling fresh perspectives and artistic practices to the Vietnamese audience.

Open Studio “AssumptX” includes videos, installations, and performances representing the private experiences of the duo, Quywn and Nguyen Thanh Tung. The felt states and sensations that occur in each individual's mind are things that no one can communicate well enough to share and reveal their experiences with others. Perhaps we can never know whether anyone else experiences something the same as we do. We can only assume.

 

This open studio served as an experiment to share the duo's private experiences and observe the participants' assumptions, and challenge this communication theory.

Thuc exhibition includes paintings, graphics, installations, photography, and videos created by young individuals, defining and expressing how they see the world and themselves. The self is always changing or having an essence that sets us apart from others. It cannot be certain that a collection of observations will always lead to the same conclusion. We assess and perceive through reason and consciousness.
