M+ invites Danh Vo to work on a long-term project in the museum’s Found Space, a dramatic concrete atrium that lies at the heart of the building. Vo’s art uses everyday and found materials that carry specific histories and symbolic references, while often integrating the work of other artists, family members, and friends. For this project, Vo has responded with a proposal to transform the experience of the site and the way in which it is programmed.

Over the next few years, Vo will work within M+, drawing on the skills of its various teams to reimagine the institution’s potentials and exhibition-making practices. He will use the space in organic and sustainable ways, reimagining it as a welcoming social zone that is also a stage for different programmes.

The space will incorporate changing displays and events that build on the museum’s exploration of global conceptual art and design from an Asian perspective, as in previous projects the artist has participated in, such as Noguchi for Danh Vo: Counterpoint (2018) and The Dream of the Museum (2021).
