DESCRIPTION:This meditation on the work of conceptual artist Danh Võ explores Võ's work as an encounter with a coming community that exists in a shared and incommensurable relationship to things and of the singularities who encounter them. It suggests that Võ's work opens up an opportunity to perform into being an actually existing queer and brown communism of incommensurability.
