do ho suh: home within home
leeum samsung museum of art
, seoul, south korea
open now until june 3rd, 2012


'home within home' is a solo representation of do ho suh's work showcasing the korean artist's newest sculptural pieces.
the special exhibition gallery of leeum samsung museum of art has been decorated with suh's thread-and-sheer-fabric-drawn
representations of his nomadic existence living in major urban centers such as seoul, new york and berlin.
in 'home within home', the artist investigates the idea of truly inhabiting a place, developing the concept of 'home' as skeletal representations
throughout the museum, actualizing this concept as both a boundary and passageway in the gallery space. each piece exists as an entirely
separate experience, influenced by the light and surrounding architecture; the orientation of the suspended works in comparison to one another
also reveals a greater complexity to the artist's examination of 'the home' through this assemblage of bright floating structures.
