Venue: BILDMUSEET

Artist and architect Do Ho Suh investigates architecture as both physical and psychological spaces. He has painstakingly documented the rooms where he has lived and worked - his childhood home in South Korea and apartments and studios in New York and London - to then recreate them as striking visual works of art.

In the large Passage/s installation, the artist combines passages and corridors from the different homes he has lived in. In translucent textile structures, he gives form to experiences of mobility and change; crossing borders and moving between different mental spaces. A video installation leads us through an infinite corridor of shifting environments; another transports us vertically through a never ending building.

Do Ho Suh (b. 1962, South Korea) lives and works in London. He represented South Korea at the Venice Biennale in 2011, and has exhibited at an array of museums in Asia, the USA and Europe. This is his first solo exhibition in Scandinavia.

Artist talk: November 17, 4–5pm, Do Ho Suh on art and architecture
