Lehmann Maupin Gallery is pleased to present Lehmann Maupin Gallery at STPI, featuring the work of Ashley Bickerton, Lee Bul, Teresita Fernández and Do Ho Suh.

Over the last 10 years, Lehmann Maupin and STPI have partnered to present the work of several Lehmann Maupin artists through STPI's artist residency program. For this collaborative exhibition, Lehmann Maupin and STPI will present a selection of works produced during each artist's residency, as well as a selection of new works.

STPI (Singapore Tyler Print Institute) is a catalyst and advocate for new ideas, dialogues and developments for contemporary art in print and paper. It collaborates with emerging and recognized artists worldwide to create artworks with its exceptional print, papermaking facilities and expertise. Established in 2002 with the support of the Singapore Government, STPI is a not-for-profit organization that presents innovative exhibitions and programs to a broad audience, where works on paper and print by contemporary artists can be discovered in unique and engaging ways.

A seminal figure in the East Village scene, Ashley Bickerton was one of the original members of the group of artists that became known as “Neo-Geo,” and remains an influential figure with a younger generation of artists. Considered the leading Korean artist of her generation, Lee Bul has achieved international renown for her formally inventive, intellectually provocative oeuvre. Demonstrating virtuosity across diverse media – from drawing and performance to sculpture, painting, installation, and video – her multifaceted production is representative of the most innovative aesthetic currents shaping contemporary art in the global sphere. Teresita Fernández is a conceptual artist best known for her prominent public sculptures and unconventional use of materials. Fernández’s work is characterized by an interest in perception and the psychology of looking. Her experiential, large-scale works are often inspired by landscape and natural phenomena as well as diverse historical and cultural references.
Interested in the malleability of space in both its physical and metaphorical manifestations, Do Ho Suh constructs site-specific installations that question the boundaries of identity. His work explores the relation between individuality, collectivity, and anonymity.

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.
