....APARTMENT.....Do-Ho Suh..........

Do-Ho Suh was born in Seoul in 1962. After earning a B.F.A. and M.F.A. in Oriental painting from Seoul National University and fulfilling his term of mandatory service in the South Korean military, Suh relocated to the United States to continue his studies at RISD and Yale University. Today he divides his time between New York, which he tentatively calls home, and Seoul, where he visits family and fabricates works. The constant travel and the juggling of cultures and language have produced a disorientation – a feeling of being neither here nor there, which the artist describes as “transcultural displacement."
