Danh Vo (b. 1975, Bà Rịa, Vietnam) studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (2002) and the Städelschule, Frankfurt (2005). Vo's projects merge via objects and images that have accrued meaning in the world, whether through their former ownership, their proximity to specific events, or their currency as universal icons. His work becomes an expanding and diversifying series of experiments, questioning what happens if he brings one set of elements together, then another, and another. Motivated by a desire to uncover layers shaping the present, Vo’s practice reflects the fluid, precarious nature of contemporary life. His family fled Vietnam for Denmark in 1979, a journey that informs his artistic perspective.
