Gabi Dao

GABI DAO is an artist whose multidisciplinary practice insists on counter-memory, hyphenation, multiple truths, and blurred temporalities. Her laborious and saturated sculptures, installations, and video and sound work often begin by tracing the histories of places and materials through themes of globalization, consumption, belief, and belonging. Dao often conducts extensive archival and site-specific research of her subjects, slowly gathering and generating materials and sensing in situ. In this work, she prioritizes intimate and embodied modes of knowing toward new fragmentary and non-linear narratives.
