What’s the most important thing for an artist? “The dialogue, and freedom, for sure,” says Danh Vō. So it’s no surprise that these two elements are omnipresent in Vō’s work. Dialogue in particular. The three series on view at Kurimanzutto tell tales of Vō’s relationships past and present—the first with his ex-tutor, Peter Bonde; the second with the photographer Heinz Peter Knes; the third with friend Craig McNamara. Vō’s work speaks of friendships, confrontations, and the effects of time. —E.C.
