Anatomy

Over a career spanning more than thirty years and a vast array of mediums, Korean-born artist Do Ho Suh’s work has circled around a constellation of recurring themes: memory, belonging, domesticity, corporeality, monuments, and collectivity. Anatomy is the first comprehensive survey of this interrelated and expanding body of work. It brings together renowned works such as his astonishing 1:1 fabric recreations of buildings and interiors with drawings, sculptures, installations, films, and speculative research projects. Varying wildly in scale and form, these works are joined by a breathtaking care and innovation of execution on the one hand and an intuitive, iterative process of conception on the other. Here they are grouped by themes and mediums into lyrical sequences that reflect the importance of process and evolution to Suh’s practice. New essays by Rachel Armstrong, Douglas Fogle, Lynne Tillman, Renee Gladman, Hugh Brody, Penelope Haralambidou, Amie Corry, and Jung-Ah Woo reflect on and respond to Suh’s work from a variety of perspectives, while an extended conversation between Suh and Tavares Strachan prefaces the book, completing an authoritative and immersive reference to one of the world’s foremost working artists.
