From Museum of Contemporary Art Australia:
[Sydney, 20 May 2022], The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA Australia) is delighted to announce a major new survey by internationally renowned artist Do Ho Suh. This is the first large- scale solo exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere of the South Korean-born, London-based artist’s work. The exhibition will open exclusively in Sydney on Friday 4 November 2022, for the Sydney International Art Series 2022–23.
Do Ho Suh is known for his large-scale sculptures and architectural installations, which address the often complex relationships between the body, memory and space.
Do Ho Suh at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia is a major survey spanning three decades, from the 1990s to the present, and represents one of the artist’s most comprehensive projects to date. The exhibition is Suh’s first solo exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere and will present emblematic works across a wide range of media that include large-scale installations, sculptures, drawings, printmaking, models, and video works.
Do Ho Suh’s extensive body of work is characterised by an ongoing meditation on notions of belonging, identity and home. Encompassing portraiture and architectural references, Suh’s works have a distinctive biographical dimension in their evocation of the artist’s childhood and schooling in South Korea, the family home in which he grew up, and his relocation to New York, Berlin and London and the various spaces he has lived in as an adult. Diasporic experience and the space between different cultures and histories is a recurrent refrain within the works, which situate the home at the centre of our shared physical and psychological experience.
