Danh Vo at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam

Danh Vo will present a solo exhibition of works at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, opening this February. Titled ‘πνεῦμα (Ἔλισσα)’, the presentation explores human intimacy, examining the conditions that shape how we move, endure and create meaning.

The exhibition marks Vo’s return to the Stedelijk, following his earlier show in 2008.

Rein Wolfs, Director of the Stedelijk Museum, has said: ‘What I value most in Danh Vo’s work is the space it offers the viewer. His installations carry emotional undercurrents – tenderness, rupture, longing – that let personal and shared histories speak to one another. He also shows how beauty can be entangled with power, capable of seducing yet also unsettling.’
