This expansive exhibition explores the role that drawing and paper play in the artistic practice of Do Ho Suh, focusing on his collaborative methods, experimental techniques and innovative use of materials. South Korean-born and London-based, this is Do’s first solo exhibition in Scotland, taking over an entire level of Modern One.
Suh creates engaging and imaginative artworks, posing questions about home and identity through complex thread drawings, in which cotton thread is embedded in hand-made paper, alongside architectural rubbings, paper sculptures, cyanotypes, printmaking and watercolours. There will also be an immersive installation of Suh’s well-known ‘hubs’ (see image below) – life-size sculptures that visitors can enter and move through, reimagining in colourful, translucent fabric places meaningful to the artist and his life.

The exhibition forms part of this year’s Edinburgh Art Festival.
