Danh Vo

The impact of immigration is central to this Danish/Vietnamese artist's work - his family's departure from Vietnam and its impact on the Vo's life has lead to an oeuvre filled with ruminations on the nature of displacement. His is a personal, political and powerful approach to art that has seen him win the Hugo Boss Art Prize and have major shows at museums across the world. This however is his first major show in London and will feature 20 segments of copper taken from diagrams for the Statue of Liberty. The fragments are scattered around the world, and this will be our first chance to get a proper look at some of them.
