The on-going project “Vo Rocasco Rasmussen” that began in 2003, was one of Danh Võ’s first forays in the systematic subversion of hegemonic cultural structures. Legally marrying and adopting the names of one close friend after another, this on-going work could be seen as a tribute to loyalty and love, but his subsequent accumulation of names over time calls into question the role a name plays in our understanding of identity. His passport, for example, does not read the same as his bank-card, and the name on his driver’s license is different from his door bell.
‘Learning to love you more‘ (2002-2009) is a website and a series of non-web presentations comprised of work made by the general public in response to assignments given by artists Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher.
A simple schedule of the artist’s different moods (in Dutch).
Some of them: wonder / devotion / courage / sex drifts / willpower / love / blame / trust / doubt / shame / concentration / desperation / indifference / creativity
