ABOUT 59 RIVOLI
59 Rivoli - owned by the city hall of Paris, often celebrated as a hub for curious souls and art lovers, has established itself as a residence for artists, a platform for displaying works of art, a laboratory of contemporary creation open to the public, and a venue for art workshops, exhibitions, social events, and concerts.
Ta Lai Experience, located in Cat Tien National Park and selected by WWF to boost local tourism skills and reduce forest dependence while supporting elephant conservation in Cat Tien National Park, provided a unique opportunity to be inspired by the lush jungle and Vietnamese ethnic minorities while staying at an eco-lodge developed through an ecotourism initiative with WWF Vietnam.Inspired by his hometown Hoi An, the piece beautifully reflects the harmony of nature and tradition.
We partnered with Ta Lai Experience to offer accommodations for our artists, providing a serene retreat away from the bustling city for them to connect with nature and the heritage of Chau Ma ethnic group. This allowed them to connect with nature and draw inspiration for their exhibition artworks.
ART SHOW
The 5 artists, coming from 59 Rivoli, arrived in Ho Chi Minh City on 14th October 2023 to explore, seek inspiration & work until their grand group exhibition.
The mission of this collaboration is to create a cultural bridge between French and Vietnamese artists, uniting creative minds and infusing both cultures into a single artistic expression. This residency offers the artists a unique opportunity to break free from their routines, travel, and seek fresh inspiration beyond their comfort zones. Vietnam, with its stunning landscapes and vibrant atmosphere, serves as an ideal source of inspiration.
More impressive with our performances, taking souls away from busy city and celebrating the calling of Mother Earth through the voice of Ms Ka Huong from Chau Ma ethnic group infused with contemporary movement by Danielle from Dance Center.
