The HCM City University of Education, for example, will organise a competency assessment examination on June 26-28, 10 days later than its planned schedule. The examination will be held only one time instead of multiple times over a one-year period.

However, candidates who live in areas under lockdown due to the COVID-19 outbreak will take the tests on July 10-15 after the national high school graduation exam. The university will end registration for the tests on June 18.

Nguyen Tat Thanh University will change testing plans for drawing and music examinations for candidates who apply for admission to the faculties of architecture, graphic design, interior design, piano, and vocal music. Candidates will send their tests to the university via email in the first round, and later will sit for an online interview.

Candidates who apply for admission to the faculties of acting for film and television, film and television directing, and cinematography will take the tests at the university in July.

The University of Technology under Vietnam National University-HCM City (VNUHCM) began receiving registration applications via email on May 31.

The University of Economics-Law under VNUHCM has delayed the deadline until June 20 for applications for admission. It will receive applications through the postal service, and will use several methods of admission, depending on a number of factors, including enrollment quotas, and student high school marks or test scores, among others.

The VNUHCM-University of Information Technology started receiving applications via email on June 1 and is also using several methods of admission.

VNUHCM-International University has for many years been receiving applications online and from postal services. This year, it will have six methods for enrollment and will reorganise the competency assessment examination.

It will set aside more than VND32 billion (US$1.4) to provide scholarships to outstanding new students, especially in the faculties of civil engineering, space engineering and environmental engineering.

The exhibition in HCM City entitled Nguyệt Sáng Gương Trong (The Mirror of The Moon) displays 58 silk paintings which Tuan painted in the last five years.

The artist drew nude women to explore all aspects and all possibilities of feminine charm.

“I don’t paint a specific female figure,” said Tuan. “I portray beauty. Silk material is soft and supple helping me to express my ideas.”

He features beauty in different postures and in different spaces such as in a bar, in the bedroom, floating on a water surface or drifting into the infinite vacuum of the universe.

The women in Tuan’s paintings are different from most previous depictions of women in silk paintings, according to fine art researcher Ha Vu Trong.

“Artist generations from Indochina Fine Arts College, Gia Dinh Fine Arts College or Hue Fine Arts School in the past drew Vietnamese women with elegant beauty,” said Trong.

“Tuan’s women step out of his studio and go to the modern world which is a noisy and glittery urban area full of glamour and temptation.

“The exhibition goers can easily see the difference from Tuan’s paintings at the exhibition,” said critic Dang Than.

One of the latest silk paintings by Bui Tien Tuan.

“The nude paintings are light breath,” Than said. “They are not dreamy like Vietnamese traditional silk paintings and they are not fierce like Japanese shunga silk painting or like Egon Schiele’s paintings.

“Tuan has spent time to practice making his drawing style light as a leaf and silently drifting like a swan.”

Tuan, 50, was born in Hoi An, the central province of Quảag Nam and teaches at the HCM City University of Fine Arts.

He has had many solo and group exhibitions in the UK, France, and South Korea. He won a silver medal at the National Fine Arts Exhibition in 2010 and his paintings are in collections at Vietnam Fine Arts Museum, HCM City Fine Arts Museum and private collections.

He also released a painting book called The Mirror of The Moo at this exhibition. It is the first Vietnamese book with silk nude paintings. The bilingual book is written in English and Vietnamese with words by artist Tran Hau Tuan and other critics.

His first book was Hơi Thở Nhẹ (Light Breath) in 2010. The two books were distributed by Fine Arts Publishing House.

The exhibition runs until June 6 at Eight Gallery, No 8 Phung Khac Khoan Street, District 1, HCM City.

The smaller version of the festival held yearly in Munich, Germany will take place at the JW Mariott Hanoi Hotel’s lakeside area where the spacious green area is an ideal venue to host thousands of revellers.

As in Germany, a large tent, the Festzelt, one of the main items creating an authentic Bavarian party experience, will be set up to accommodate large groups of up to 1,600 guests every night.

“Our hotel has teamed up with the German Business Association (GBA) to organise the Oktoberfest since 2014. From only two nights during the 5th Oktoberfest in 2014, we increased it to three nights in 2015 and thereafter,” said Dunn, the hotel’s director of sales and marketing.

He also revealed that tickets for October 18 had sold out.

To enhance the atmosphere of the traditional Oktoberfest, along with several kinds of German beer, festival-goers will be introduced to the original Paulaner beer to be served in the Paulaner tent at the original Oktoberfest in Munich.

Besides enjoying free flow of beer in their own Oktoberfest beer mugs, guests will have a chance to enjoy a sumptuous buffet of German cuisine. Authentic music and entertaining acts by the popular Munich-based Anton Show Band will be presented.

Oktoberfest is also taking place in HCM City from September 26 to 28 at Hotel Nikko Saigon.

The event is co-organised by the German Business Association (GBA), the delegates of the German Industry and Commerce in Vietnam (GIC/AHK Vietnam), JW Marriott Hanoi Hotel, and Hotel Nikko Saigon.

“We have continously worked on improving the setting in order to create an authentic atmosphere in both Hanoi and HCM City,” he said.

Marko Walde, chief representative of the GIC/AHK Vietnam, said: “The GBA Oktoberfest Vietnam 2019 is one of the most expecting social events in Vietnam, which will promote business and culture exchange between Việt Nam and Germany, and where German, Vietnamese and international business communities celebrate with their colleagues, partners and friends.”

Oktoberfest was introduced to Vietnam in 1992 by the German business community. Since then, the festival has become one of the most awaited celebrations of the year, welcoming more than 9,000 expats and locals in both HCM City and Hanoi.
