Tequila Casa Dragones and Danh Vo collaborated on an Artist Edition collection honoring the artist’s installation, mothertongue, at the Danish Pavilion at 2015 La Biennale Di Venezia, 56th international art exhibition. Comprised of twelve mixed-media pieces, the exhibit drew from many inspirations, most notably the iconic 1973 film The Exorcist. Hidden Amongst Vo’s installation was an Artist Edition bottle that was hand-inscribed with a quote from the film by Vo’s father Phung Vo, whose elegant calligraphy is often present in the artist’s work. The bottle is part of a collection of five directed by the artist, each hand-inscribed with a different phrase from The Exorcist.

Danh Vo was born in Vietnam and currently lives and works in Berlin and Mexico City. Emerging from personal relationships and fortuitous encounters, Vo’s projects take their final form as objects and images that have accrued shifting layers of meaning in the world. Vo’s works have been exhibited worldwide at institutions including the South London Gallery, UK (2019); the Guggenheim, New York; Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK), Copenhagen, Denmark; M+ Museum, Hong Kong; CAPC-Musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, France (all in 2018).
