Danh Vo curates exhibition at Querini Stampalia featuring Noguchi and Park Seo-Bo

Danh Vo presents a minimalist and mimetic exhibition at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice, where he acts as both artist and curator. His interventions are hidden within the historic rooms among the collection's artifacts, consisting of floral images taken with a smartphone. The scientific names of the botanical species are handwritten by the artist's father, while the wooden frames are leftovers from a working experience in Murano, where Vo created a series of sculptures. More evocative are the groupings of Isamu Noguchi's Akari lamps, which multiply like Chinese lanterns throughout Carlo Scarpa's architecture. The most compelling part of the show features Park Seo-Bo's paintings, whose fusion of line and matter confirms the validity of the Dansaekhwa movement. The exhibition runs at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice.
