Papier- Mâché Chickens on show in Hanoi

An exhibition featuring around 150 chickens made of papier-mâché by Dinh Cong Dat opens in Hanoi Saturday.

At “Chicken: Chip, Chic, Chicky,” visitors can also speak to the artist and ask about his papier-mâché techniques.

Dat was born in Hanoi and studied sculpture at the local University of Fine Arts.

An exhibition featuring oversized insects in 2004 spread his fame beyond the country’s borders. His sculptures have been displayed in Dubai, London, New York, Paris, Beijing, and Tokyo.

He is now a member of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association.

The exhibition, to be held at the Goethe- Institute Hanoi, 54-58 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, will run until next Tuesday.
