A. Farm and Goethe Institut is pleased to present ‘Living, today for tomorrow’, a group exhibition by Nguyen Hoa, Vicente Arresse and Que with Linh Le as its curator featuring works that the three artists have made during their three-month residency, which started in the beginning of September this year.

‘Living, today for tomorrow’, a rift on a Vietnamese expression for the impermanence of life and everything else, now through a mere play with words suggests a way of life with a sense of mild absurdity. An assertion — not quite. A question — not yet. A manual — perhaps. To live is to remember to misremember one’s national historical legacy; to acknowledge, and to confront what pains, haunts, comforts, and nurtures; and to notice the minute details of daily life as lurking in such a mundane anti-climatic repetition, there lies some humour and even disruption.
