Do Ho Suh | Tracing Time
Until September 1, 2024, at Modern One, this exhibition by South Korean-born, London-based artist Do Ho Suh focuses on drawing and paper’s foundational role in his work, featuring thread drawings, architectural rubbings, and large installations. Additionally, there is an immersive installation of the well-known “hubs” by Suh, which are life-size sculptures made of vibrant, translucent fabric that mimic actual settings. This creative reworking of locations significant to the artist and his life is open for visitors to enter and navigate.
