Do Ho Suh Rebuilds Chelsea Apartment Inside Guggenheim
Korean artist Do Ho Suh will unveil a full-scale recreation of his former New York apartment inside the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum starting February 19, 2027.
Exhibition features new rubbing drawing
The solo show titled I dream in another language opens its doors to the public on February 19 and runs until August 1, 2027. Curated by Kyung An, the presentation includes over 50 pieces created over the last three decades. A standout work is a new rubbed drawing recreation of his Chelsea residence at 348 West 22nd Street. This piece represents the world premiere of a full-scale installation that preserves every inch of the original architecture.
Artist explores home and memory
Suh covered the interiors of two units with paper before arduously rubbing them with pastel and colored pencil. The exhibition traces his exploration of home, language, architecture, and memory through works like Hubs and Some/One. He previously displayed a semi-translucent replica in the LACMA collection but this new version uses vibrant fabrics to simulate walking through life-sized memories.
Artist reflects on language barriers
The Korean artist stated he does not take meaning for granted because he has had to wrestle with language throughout his life. The museum notes the work reflects many ways of being and understanding as people live across geographies, histories, and systems. Visitors can find more information about the show on the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum website located at 1071 5th Ave.
