Spirit House, a new exhibition at Stanford University's Cantor Arts Center, surveys how thirty-three contemporary artists of Asian descent, including Binh Danh, are exploring modes of making that exceed rational understanding and enter haunted dimensions. The exhibition is inspired by the structure of the spirit house, built to provide shelter to ancestral spirits, deities, and specters of former inhabitants, spirit houses are meant to be supplied with offerings on a regular basis. Through recognizing the intergenerational, transhistorical, and multidimensional realms of art, these artists create a diasporic spectral art history between the living and the dead. Spirit House confronts the things that haunt us.
