Do Ho Suh Exhibit On View at the Seattle Art Museum

On October 13th, the Seattle Art Museum opened Luminous: The Art of Asia, an exhibition that showcases the institution's diverse Asian collections with a presentation of nearly 200 works from 13 countries. Suh's multimedia gate was commissioned specifically for this exhibition and provides a contemporary response to the historical material.

"Like the moment of enlightenment in Zen Buddhism, passing through a gate takes only a split second, and then it's over," Suh explains. "But so many things happen in such a short period of time. With this work, I wanted to extend that moment of passage, to delay it, if only for an instant, to provide the viewer that moment of insight."

Explore Do Ho Suh's Fallen Star 1/5 through video footage which takes you into the various rooms of the 1:5 scale version of the Providence apartment building where Suh first lived upon arriving in the United States. See the intricate detail of each handmade object that inhabits the environment constructed from the artist's memory and the effects of the collision with Suh's childhood home in Korea. Suh has said of the work, "It's my personal journey from Korea to the U.S. and the story of the house that came along with me, or brought me here."

Fallen Star at The Stuart Collection, UC San Diego

The Stuart Collection has embarked on a new and extraordinary project with Do Ho Suh. For the Stuart Collection, Suh has envisioned Fallen Star, a small house that has been picked up by some mysterious force and "landed" on a building, seven stories up. Construction for the project began in August and the house will be raised on November 3. The completed work will include a roof garden where small groups can gather and enjoy panoramic views of the UCSD Campus.
