Tate Modern will host Do Ho Suh: Walk the House, a major survey exhibition of the South Korean artist’s work, from May 1 to October 19. Marking his first London solo show in over 20 years, the exhibition spans three decades of Suh’s practice, featuring new site-specific works alongside his iconic translucent architectural installations.

The title, Walk the House, references hanok, traditional Korean houses that can be dismantled and relocated, reflecting Suh’s exploration of home, identity, and memory. Highlights include Nest/s (2024), a vibrant tunnel-like structure, and Perfect Home: London, Horsham, New York, Berlin, Providence, Seoul (2024), an architectural outline of Suh’s London residence.

Also featured are Who Am We? (2000), a vast collection of yearbook portraits; Robin Hood Gardens (2018), a photogrammatic film; and Rubbing/Loving Project: Seoul Home (2013-2022), a decade-long tribute to his childhood home using traditional Korean rubbing techniques.

Co-curated by Nabila Abdel and Dina Akhmadeeva, the exhibition is part of the Genesis Art Initiatives’ European expansion. More details are available on the Tate Modern website.
