\u201cIs home a place, a feeling, or an idea?\u201d That\u2019s the lofty yet immanently relatable question at the heart of Do Ho Suh<\/a>\u2019s major survey open now at Tate Modern<\/a>. The London-based Korean artist (previously<\/a>) explores notions of belonging, connection, comfort, security, and familiarity in large-scale installations that replicate his own homes in Seoul, London, and New York, among a range of vibrant multimedia works.<\/p>\n

Suh is known for his use of gossamer fabric to create immersive, monumental installations. In The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh: Walk the House, the artist \u201cexamines the intricate relationship between architecture, space, the body, and the memories and moments that make us who we are,\u201d the museum says.<\/p>\n

Visitors are invited to walk through \u201cNest\/s,\u201d for example, an expansive assemblage of colorful, sheer textile structures that link together to form a passageway or conduit. As the boundaries between interior and exterior are blurred, we\u2019re invited to experience architecture from the perspective of movement and perception, highlighting how all of our interactions with other homes or places are inherently linked.<\/p>\n

Issues around shelter, safety, and community are inextricably tied to how we perceive home, especially when for many around the world, those basic needs are in constant peril or upended without warning. \u201cSuh asks timely questions about the enigma of home, identity, and how we move through and inhabit the world around us,\u201d a statement says.<\/p>\n

The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh: Walk the House continues in London through October 19. Plan your visit on the museum\u2019s website<\/a>, and follow updates on Suh\u2019s Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
