Reply from the Embassy of France

Reply from the Embassy of France to Salon Natasha, rejecting the funding request for the exhibition 'Looking In-2'. The letter is dated 13 May 1997.

The project ‘Looking In’ was originally projected as a series of exhibitions by international artist whose works relate to Vietnam in various ways; either they were foreign artist who visited or lived in Vietnam, or they studied and experimented with Vietnamese art techniques such as lacquer paintings. The project aimed to explore the Vietnamese influence to foreign artistic practice, and to introduce to the locals such genuine interest from foreign artists so as to invigorate cultural exchange and interactions.

Following the well-received first exhibition, many other foreign artists contacted Salon Natasha to express their wish to join the project. Proposals, documentations, and artworks were sent to the Salon in preparation of the second ‘Looking In’ exhibitions. Yet, with limited space, manpower and funding, further exhibitions were deemed impossible for Salon Natasha.
