Do Ho Suh

Biography

Do Ho Suh is renowned for his site-specific installations that manipulate scale to emphasize the malleability of space and examine the issues of cultural identity and anonymity. He meticulously constructs proportionally exact replicas of dwelling places, architectural features, or household appliances. Influenced by his peripatetic existence, the connection between the individual and the group across global cultures is an enduring theme of the artist's practice.

Suh represented Korea at the 49th Venice Biennale in 2001, and has staged numerous recent international solo exhibitions and site-specific projects at institutional venues including Bildmuseet, Sweden; Contemporary Arts Centre, Cincinnati; MOCA Cleveland, travelling to MCA San Diego. His work is included in numerous museum collections worldwide in New York, London, South Korea and Japan.
