Some time ago, we were invited to visit DIA Projects, a small, shared art studio created and ran by renowned Vietnamese artist Richard Streitmatter-Tran. The meticulously organized cooperative space is a veritable playground for the creatively inclined and is filled with bookshelves packed with art-related literature, carefully-stacked paints, tools, paper and photography equipment. A great place to spend a long afternoon tucked in with like-minded folks on a comfortable couch, it's located across the river from the RMIT campus in the wilds of Binh Chan. Gavin and I were both highly impressed and inspired by the space and hope to make a return trip soon.
