On Saturday November 2 2019, A. Farm once again invites ANY and ALL artists working in Saigon to join the second edition of All Animals Are Equal. In the spirit of A. Farm, we welcome artists of any discipline to show alongside each other, whether professional or non-professional, young or old, emerging or established.

This is an open call for any artist to join All Animals Are Equal #2. Visual artists are invited to bring 1-3 artworks, and to install them anywhere in the A. Farm communal residency space. Possible locations where artists may install their work include the communal studios, kitchen and bathrooms, stage and courtyard. Video, sound and performance artists are also encouraged to join the event.

Season 2 artists Kanich Khajohnsri, Levi Masuli, Nguyen Le Phuong Linh, Tina Thu and Matteo Biella will take over the gallery to showcase their residency projects while the rest of the facility and studios will be open for absolute artistic takeover. Sound and art performances will be announced as they confirm. 289e bar will provide carefully curated cocktails and fabulous vibes in the kitchen while charitable organisation Maison Chance will take care of food in the courtyard. And for those of you not up for driving we even have you covered with 2 private buses departing from D1 so come celebrate!

THE SPACE:
Established in 2018, A. Farm is an international art residency formed from a collaboration between the Nguyen Art Foundation, and independent art spaces Sàn Art and Mot+++. It is located in District 12 of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam, and consists of a gallery room, six semi-communal studios, seven bedrooms, shared living facilities and a large courtyard. Previously a factory, its history of scent and flavour production is reimagined in a cross-pollination of art and ideas between local and international artists.
