Danh Vo, Isamu Noguchi, Park Seo-Bo
Dates
20 April – 27 November 2022
Location
Fondazione Querini Stampalia
Fondazione Querini Stampalia in collaboration with White Cube has invited the Danish-Vietnamese artist Danh Vo to co-curate a project alongside Chiara Bertola, curator of the contemporary art programme at Querini Stampalia, to coincide with this year’s Venice Biennale. Placing his own works alongside that of the Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi and Korean painter Park Seo-Bo, these artists engage in a complex dialogue with each other and with the architecture and rich array of past art on display at the Fondazione including the Intesa Sanpaolo Collection.
‘Meaning’ is not a quality objects have, it is something that we give them. Each of us looks at things differently depending on our baggage. This is how tension is created between objects but also people and environments.’

Noguchi's Akari, the Japanese word for light, were conceived in 1951 en route to Hiroshima, and were based on Japanese chochin lanters.
