Detail of wall work by Do Ho Suh

So much of what I do engages with the question of what the notion of ‘home’ means – where it’s located. My fabric sculptures are survival mechanisms because they can be packed into suitcases and carried with you.
—Do Ho Suh

Lehmann Maupin inaugurates its latest location in Palm Beach with a selection of new fabric works by acclaimed Korean-born artist Do Ho Suh, which continue his exploration of the often precarious idea of home in a global society. This presentation marks the artist's first in Palm Beach.

Portrait of Do Ho Suh

Do Ho Suh (b. 1962, Seoul, Korea; lives and works in London, United Kingdom) works across various media, creating drawings, film, and sculptural works that confront questions of home, physical space, displacement, memory, individuality, and collectivity. Suh is best known for his fabric sculptures that reconstruct to scale his past and present homes and studios in Korea, Rhode Island, Berlin, London, and New York.

Suh is interested in the malleability of space in both its physical and metaphorical forms, and examines how the body relates to, inhabits, and interacts with that space. He is particularly interested in domestic space and the way the concept of home can be articulated through architecture that has a specific location, form, and history. For Suh, the spaces we inhabit also contain psychological energy, and in his work he makes visible those markers of memories, personal experiences, and a sense of security, regardless of geographic location.
