The report, broadcasted in August 2011, was made by Vietnam Television Channel VTC 10 (VTC 10) on the project " Graffiti in the alley" by ZeroStation and Click 9
In this project, ZeroStation (zerostationvn.org) has collaborated with Click 9, one of the graffiti teams in HCMC, to create an art project using graffiti as a tool to awaken the interaction between people living in the neighborhood where ZeroStation is located and art.
This is a typical quarter in the heart of Saigon with a large yard where daily activities taken naturally, kids play football, their parents chatter, etc. in the afternoon. Click 9 will draw graffiti continually pictures on the wall of ZS for nearly a month (since 12 July- 07 August). It this period of time, the artists will have an opportunity not only to draw graffiti and thereby create lively visual art space for the neighborhood, but also have an opportunity to communicate and interact directly with the residents as well as to create a close approach by suggesting people to involve in the process of drawing with them.
For nearly one month, there will be plenty of graffiti paintings to be drawn, to be deleted, and to be re-drawn, thereby emphasizing the ephemeral nature of street art practices and non-institutional as well as the progress of a public art project which is not (only) based on the aesthetic object, and (still) mainly on the relationship and the openness of dialogue
It is through the two-way interpretation, we hope to open a third space, i.e. the space of dynamic, multiple and productive dialogue.
