Do Ho Suh's solo exhibition that deals on the relationship between body, space and memory will be on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney until 26 February.
The Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney is exhibiting the first solo show in the south-eastern hemisphere, as part of the 2022/2023 Sydney International Art Series, by acclaimed South Korean artist Do Ho Suh, known for his large-scale works and architectural installations that seek to reflect and link the relationship between body, space and memory.
Do Ho Suh is one of the artist's most comprehensive projects to date, offering the opportunity to experience works of art in practically all their formats. The large-scale installations are joined by sculptures, drawings, prints and videos. All inspired by the different cultures he has experienced living in, from South Korea, where he spent his childhood, to New York, Berlin and London, where he has found his family home.
