How the show is organized
According to MMCA, this is a large solo show by Do Ho Suh, one of Korea’s leading installation artists. It covers his work from early pieces to major works and ongoing projects. He has explored migration and dwelling, the individual and the community, and the questions of space, memory and identity.
Rather than split the works by theme, the show lets these elements reflect on each other:
- Early and recent work
- Drawings and installations
- Home and body
- Space and time
It also includes early works and drawings shown for the first time.
