atelier wonderful 2006

Atelier Wonderful is closing...

Wonderful Moon Party on Saturday, July 1st

Wonderful District is a project ran by two artists, Bertrand Peret and Sandrine Llouquet, who have been living in Vietnam a year and a half.
A modular project adapting to contexts and necessities, Wonderful District incarnates itself in various forms with various visions.

Atelier Wonderful is a creation within the Wonderful District project.

Responding to the need of a space for meeting and sharing ideas around art, where proximity between organizers/creators and the public is essential, Atelier took place in Bertrand and Sandrine’s apartment-studio beginning in February 2006.
Atelier Wonderful took place over 5 months, at the rate of at least one weekly meeting (art installation or presentation, video projection, lecture…) between a creator or an artwork and the public.
This supported rhythm of events, accommodated by a reconfiguration of the Atelier space each week, aimed to drive a new dynamic in the contemporary art field over a determined period in Ho Chi Minh city.
Free access to an art library of international books and magazines, exchanges between Vietnamese and foreign people, visual artists, illustrators, musicians, performers, film makers, architects and students, the dialog which was established…all played the role of revealing the aesthetic transversalities among different fields and cultures. This impelled the creation of new artistic collaborations independent of Wonderful District.

Today Atelier Wonderful ends. Thanks to all of you for your presence and your precious support. We are waiting for you for a last event - this time outside our walls : the Wonderful Moon party, this Saturday from 8pm at Long Phi bar with DJ ‘s NS101 and JVC playing and some video projections by Migrant Media Arts and Wonderful. See you soon…
