Danh Vō
Selected works Installation views

For his new exhibition, Danh Vō presents in-situ installations that employ elements of autobiography and collective experience to examine larger historical, social and political themes. In his practice, Vō is particularly interested in the discrepancies between myth and reality, and between the malleable identities and histories imposed on him by others as well as those that he creates for himself.

Danh Vō (b. 1975, Bà Rja, Vietnam) represented Denmark at the Venice Biennale in 2015 and that same year, co-curated Slip of the Tongue at the Punta della Dogana, Venice. In 2013 and 2019, he participated in the International Exhibition of the Biennale. Important solo and group exhibitions include Bourse de la Commerce, Paris (2023); Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venice (2022); Mudam, Luxembourg (2021); Secession, Vienna (2021); National Museum of Art Osaka (2020); Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (2018); CAPC, Bordeaux (2018); National Gallery, Singapore (2017); Palacio de Cristal, Reina Sofía, Madrid (2015-2016); Museum Ludwig, Cologne (2015); Musée d’art moderne de la Ville de Paris, Paris (2013); Guggenheim Museum, NY (2013); Art Institute of Chicago (2012); Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria (2012); Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland (2009) and Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2008). He was awarded the Blau Orange Kunstpreis der Deutschen Volksbanken und Raiffeisenbanken (2007) and the Hugo Boss Prize (2012).
