Secession dedicates a major solo exhibition to the artist Danh Vo whose conceptual works and installations often build on personal experiences to address larger historical, social, and political concerns. Following this project, Danh Vo will present his latest works at Galerie Chantal Crousel on October 18, 2021.

Born in Vietnam and raised in Denmark, the artist is fascinated by the ways in which objects and histories become intertwined, serving as projections of national anxieties and personal identities. While the erotic and violent power plays of colonialism are a recurrent theme, so too are the sacred and profane dances of religion, and the manner in which administrative systems seek to shape (even curtail) personal intimacy and expression.
