Suh Do Ho

As Suh Do ho is the one of the most popular Korean installation artist, He has given me a lot of impressions. He was born in Seoul 1962 and he gain B.F.A and M.F.A in Seoul University. After he graduated Seoul University, he continued his studies in Yale University. His works are mostly about house and it shows how he missed the Korean house. For example, one of his famous work “Bridging home" built in the Liverpool, London, he installed a Korean traditional house between the Liverpool buildings. He has had a lot of exhibitions, such as, Storefront for Art and Architecture Serpentine, Gallery, London, Seattle Art Museum and Whitney Museum of American Art in Philip Morris. He has also done group exhibitions, such as Baltimore Museum of art, Museum of Modern art in New York and Huston Museum of Fine Art. Other artwork that I impressed is Fallen star. It is also about the house. The work is about an old house hang the Korean traditional house, which also shows how he missed his Koreran house. As a result, His works contain missing Korean culture and how hard living in foreign country as an immigrant and international students.
