From November 2016 to August 2017, Vietnamese-born Danish artist Danh Vo, who often draws upon personal experience to explore broader historical, social or political themes in his work, presents a series of new sculptures at National Gallery Singapore as part of his first outdoor installation in Singapore. A continuation of his existing practice, the installation explores issues of cross-cultural identity and the definition of cultural values. This accompanying catalogue delves deeper into both Danh's practice as well as broader discussions surrounding cross-cultural identity through essays by leading scholar Professor Nora Taylor and Gallery curator Charmaine Toh, alongside full-colour images of the commissioned work.
