Material type: TextPublication details: New York : Guggenheim Museum Publications, 2018. Edition: 1st edDescription: lv, 267, cclxix-cclxxxiv p. : ill. ; 30 cmISBN: 9780892075393Other title: Take my breath awaySubject(s): Vo, Danh, 1975- -- ExhibitionsLOC classification: N7314.3.V6 | A4 2018Abstract: Danh Vo's conceptual, installation-based practice dissects the cultural forces and private desires that shape our experience of the world. He often employs found objects, images and texts to animate personal narratives that refract global political histories. Published to accompany the most comprehensive museum survey to date of the Danish artist's work, this catalog presents for the first time an illuminating overview of Vo's work from the past 15 years. Organized around nearly 30 major projects and installations, the volume ranges from Vo's early performative works such as Vo Rosasco Rasmussen (2003), in which he married and divorced acquaintances in order to add their surnames to his own, to his recent sculptural hybrids of classical and Christian statuary. A lead essay by Katherine Brinson probes the artist's roving, research-based process in which historical study, fortuitous encounters and personal relationships are woven into psychologically potent tableaux. Significant recurring subjects include the legacy of colonialism and the fraught status of the refugee, as well as the image of the United States in its own collective imagination and in that of the world.Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
