This upcoming spring, Tate Modern will host a significant display of artworks by South Korean artist Do Ho Suh, which will be his first solo exhibition in London in more than two decades. The exhibition, called “The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh: Walk the House“, delves into the themes of home, identity, and our relationship with the world through exploring places that the artist has lived. The show will include new, custom-made works, expanding on Suh’s collection of transparent houses in his artistic legacy.
The title of the show, “Walk the House,” is inspired by the hanok, a traditional Korean dwelling that can be taken apart and put back together in a different location. This concept of a movable home serves as a foundation for Suh to explore the intersection of architecture, space, the human body, and memory. In his words, “The space I’m intrigued by isn’t limited to the physical realm, but extends to the abstract, metaphorical, and psychological dimensions.” For him, “space” represents all that encompasses us.
The exhibition will feature various fabric copies of the artist’s pieces and living areas, such as “Nest/s” (2024), a vibrant tunnel passageways and entrances, and for the first time, “Perfect Home: London, Horsham, New York, Berlin, Providence, Seoul” (2024), a sketch of the artist’s current London residence, adorned with lively architectural elements like doorknobs, light switches, and electrical outlets.
Under the title “Walk the House“, this exhibition will showcase a variety of art forms including installation, sculpture, video, and drawing. Notable pieces include “Who Am We?” (2000), a vast assemblage of thousands of miniature portraits taken from high school yearbooks; the 2018 film “Robin Hood Gardens“, created using photogrammetric techniques; and “Rubbing/Loving Project: Seoul Home” (2013-2022), a ten-year tribute to traditional Korean rubbing practices, where the artist covered his childhood home in paper and graphite imprints.
The significant exhibition is jointly organized by Nabila Abdel from the Hyundai Tate Research Centre and Dina Akhmadeeva of Tate Modern. This exhibition signifies the European extension of Genesis Art Initiatives, a broader partnership between Genesis and the institution, which was responsible for Lee Bul’s Met facade commission in the fall of last year.
The “Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh – Walk Through a Home” is set to be displayed at a London museum between May 1st and October 19th. For further details, please visit the museum’s website.
