Magne participated in a workshop with students from the Hanoi University of Fine Art, which culminated in an exhibition opened by HM Queen Sonja of Norway. According to Magne in his Hanoi diary, during the three days of the workshop “the students printed more in those 3 days than in the 2 years prior to it.”
The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the program:
“The Office for Contemporary Art Norway (OCA) co-ordinated an interdisciplinary cultural programme called GÃP HANOI in connection with the Norwegian state visit to Vietnam. It included concerts, film screenings, seminars, lectures and a workshop for Norwegian and Vietnamese artists and performers in a variety of disciplines.” (source)
