DANH VO — πνεῦμα (Ἔλισσα) exhibition@ Stedelijk basement (Feb 14 until Aug 2, 2026), “Acclaimed for his choreography of space, he brings together his own work (ear), collected objects (Ancient Greek statues fused with medieval leg brace), and pieces by other artists”. | https://www.stedelijk.nl/en/exhibitions/danh-vo-2

Pawel shared what he liked about this exhibition:

• the basement is like a warehouse space, so much scope, freedom and scale
• playful creation of an intimate room like structure within this vastness, changes perspective and blurs the edges of the individual and the work
• lighting and movement of the pieces (everything changes all the time)
• very engaging intro vid, on stunning sofas – that can be sat upon – setting the tone for an accessible jumping off point to engage with the work and see what resonates with you (everything changes, and the journey we feel we are heading out on may change and that might be okay too)
• “for me; enjoy the remaking of found objects, the beauty and sadness of the photographs from his lost homeland”.
