Thanks Ingo! I had been checking their website for a few days (the article 
was due last week).

The only thing is, the headline and parts of the article are a complete 
fantasy. I gave a interview in Saigon a few weeks ago to the Thanh Nien 
journalist, but this version is just weird (and I don't think he wrote it).

Really, I DO NOT plan to "open a gallery" in Saigon and the nice lady who 
has actually been running the Mai gallery for the last 4 years won't be 
pleased to learn that I'm going to "open" her gallery :D

Also, some bits of the "interview" were borrowed from the one I gave to the 
123d.com site in 2004. In fact, a few content-starved 3D websites in Vietnam 
and China translated it in their own language some months ago.

The actual story, much less newsworthy, is that there's some remote 
possibility that I may have a show in that gallery next year. There's a lot 
to sort out before it becomes a reality. In any case, 3D and digital art are 
very new in Vietnam, as are most forms of contemporary art, and generally 
speaking there's a hunger for all the shiny stuff they've been missing all 
these years.
