COPENHAGEN.- A gilt cardboard box and a used Mercedes engine. The internationally acclaimed Danish-Vietnamese artist Danh Vo conquers x-rummet at the National Gallery of Denmark with a subtly humorous exhibition that links personal history with wider cultural and political issues. The exhibition “Hip Hip Hurrah” marks Vo’s first solo representation in Denmark. Danh Vo was born in Vietnam in 1975. At the age of four, he and his family fled the post-war chaos of their native country in a homemade boat. Their intention was to go to the USA, but a Danish freighter discovered them in the Pacific, picked them up and took them back home to Denmark. As a refugee and immigrant Vo is an eternal traveller, voyaging through the conditions that have shaped and make up his identity. This also applies to his works, which build their poetic – and at times peculiar – significance
