Artist Do Ho Suh presents his first solo exhibition at London's Tate Modern in two decades, titled "The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh: Walk the House." The show features his signature translucent fabric architectural sculptures, including the newly created installation "Nest/s" (2024), a collection of 1:1 scale replicas of spaces where Suh has lived and worked across Seoul, New York, London, and Berlin. The exhibition explores themes of home, memory, and migration, drawing from Suh's own experiences moving from Seoul to New York and later London.
The exhibition opens amid heated U.K. debates over immigration policy, with the Labour government proposing major border controls. Suh's work, which interrogates the concept of a "perfect home" and questions whether borders can be dissolved, resonates deeply with current political discourse. By making personal experiences of displacement universally relatable, the show invites viewers to reflect on their own relationships with home and belonging, demonstrating how art can engage with urgent social questions without losing its aesthetic power.
