Do-Ho
Suh was born in Seoul, Korea in 1962. He received a BFA in painting from Rhode
Island School of Design and an MFA in sculpture from Yale University. He has
since had solo exhibitions at such venues as the Serpentine Gallery, London, Seattle
Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art at Philip Morris, and the Artsonje
Center in Korea. He has also participated in group exhibitions at the Baltimore
Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the 49th Venice Biennale, among
others. Interested in the malleability of space in both its physical and metaphorical
manifestations, Do-Ho Suh constructs site-specific installations that question the
boundaries of identity. His work explores the relation between individuality,
collectivity, and anonymity. The artist's work is represented in a number of
major museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Whitney
Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Museum of Contemporary Art,
Los Angeles. Do-Ho Suh lives and works in New York City. Link

"The
whole program was basically pushing your psychological and physical limits to extremes,
so actually you can kill someone. And, you know, that whole experience was very difficult
to swallow. It’s a process of dehumanization." Link
