\u201cBorrowed Scenery,\u201d Danh Vo: As we lean into the journey of Danh Vo\u2019s artistic practice, we encounter the subjects of several of his deepest passions: Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi, Italian designer and artist Enzo Mari, Danish designer Nanna Ditzel, and the space of the Dong Pavilion. By way of the faintly discernible connections shared among these subjects, we embark upon an understanding toward the many layers of Danh Vo\u2019s contemporary art practice.<\/p>\n

As Noguchi explained himself, the Akari<\/em> light series (Akari meaning \u201clight\u201d or \u201cbrightness\u201d in Japanese) \u201callows us to feel the presence of sunlight during the dark night, its warmth continuing to linger indoors.\u201d Noguchi\u2019s conception of light, then, transcends the general surface beauty of form, and penetrates straight into human nature\u2019s deep longing for warmth.<\/p>\n

The design practice behind Enzo Mari\u2019s autoprogettazione<\/em> (or \u201cself design\u201d), presented in 1974, is also an emphatic return to the basic needs of humans, suggesting a reversion to an active relationship with the material world; Vo also entered into collaboration with noted textile company Kvadrat to delve into the archives of the prominent designer Nanna Ditzel, rediscovering one of her historic designs: Hallingdal Mega, Ditzel\u2019s textiles are used to upholster circular daybeds inspired by Enzo Mari.<\/p>\n

The Dong Pavilion is a traditional space for the Dong people, a structure used in field labor, rest, and congregating. The cedar trees in the mountains, alongside the children, grow taller, and once the trees are tall enough to be used for their wood, they are transformed into homes for the next generation, as well as pavilions and drum towers for congregation. The actual process of woodworking becomes an abiding support during this transition into a different stage of life.<\/p>\n

Danh Vo\u2019s practice of contemporary art, which started in the realm of his personal experiences, has since journeyed around the entire world, engaging in an investigation of the complicated faces of history\u2014especially in relation to identity and belonging, authority and ownership, the role of personal relationships, and the survival of other human groups\u2014and focusing in on the question of how humans might achieve a state of freedom in today\u2019s world. This trail of questions has brought together Noguchi\u2019s Akari<\/em> light series, Enzo Mari\u2019s autoprogetttazione<\/em> furniture, and the Dong Pavilion, ushering them into the Mirrored Gardens. Along this winding path of investigation, different lines of history are being reconnected and reconstructed, as well as colliding together, slowly forming our ideas about the possibilities of being alive today.<\/p>\n
