Artwork by an immigrant German artist will be on display at an upcoming exhibition in Ho Chi Minh City.

Where do you come from? The answers of 13 artists who were not born in Germany but found there a place to work and create will be on display at the Exhibition House in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1 from October 17.

The exhibition is organized by IFA (Institut fur Auslandsbeziehungen), an organization that works to promote artistic exchange and dialogue between civil societies. Its central activity is devising and organizing German contemporary art exhibitions worldwide.

The upcoming show features artists from various countries including Switzerland, Turkey, and the US.

Organizers say the criteria for choosing the 13 artists was their answer to the “old-fashioned” question. It was also a matter of “simply gathering a good number of convincing, insightful and internationally recognized contemporary art works.”

The exhibition, held by the HCMC Goethe-Institute and IFA, will continue until October 26th at Exhibition House, 92 Le Thanh Ton Street, District 1.
