Recycled Cadillac - 61. 

Cadillac - Icarus was produced by Vũ Dân Tân in 1999 during his art residency at the Pacific Bridge Gallery, in Oakland, CA. The artist recycled a real white Cadillac 1961 into a sculpture and painted it gold. In 2000, Pacific Bridge Gallery took the initiative to ship Cadillac - Icarus to Vietnam and to shoot a film about its journey (film – “Icarus – the Art of Vũ Dân Tân”, dir. Nick Brooks). The closing event of this project was a greeting of Cadillac - Icarus at his final destination, which turned into a one day long improvised performance with Đào Anh Khánh acting as Icarus and a dozen of Vietnamese visual artists playing music on traditional instruments and loose car parts.
