Third International Sculpture Symposium

The Third International Sculpture Symposium was organized by the Ministry of Culture and Information, Thua Thien Hue People Committee, the Hue College of Arts and other local partners on April and May 2002 as part of the Hue Festival, with funding support from the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation. The event, entitled "Impressions of Hue" brought together 24 artists from 15 countries, including Greater Mekong countries, and 10 artists from Vietnam in the ancient city of Hue. Their sculptures have become part of a new sculpture park on the banks of the Huong River. Here, an arbitrary sample of few sculpture is provided to illustrate the differences in working styles and aesthetical models. A book with the complete set of sculptures' images is expected to be published in November of 2002.
