From the organizer:
A remarkable three-dimensional artwork named “Cadillac-Icarus” was created by Vu Dan Tan in 1999 during his residency at the Pacific Bridge art organization in Oakland, USA. The artist converted an authentic 1961 Cadillac into a sculpture, applying a gold finish to its surface. In 2000, the Pacific Bridge Gallery took the step to ship ‘Cadillac-Icarus’ to Vietnam and produced a film chronicling its journey (the film “Vu Dan Tan – Riencarnation. The Story of Icarus”, directed by Nicholas Brooks). After being driven around Hanoi, ‘Cadillac-Icarus’ became the centerpiece and inspiration for an improvised performance by Vietnamese visual artists.
Natalia Kraevskaia (Natasha) will tell you the story of “birth”, life and “death” of Cadillac-Icarus, while Dao Anh Khanh will share his memories of performing Icarus in 2000.
