About the Event
The Moody will inaugurate its Fall 2024 season with an innovative presentation of works by the internationally renowned artist Do Ho Suh. The first exhibition of its kind by Do Ho Suh, In Process forgoes the formalities of a traditional gallery display in favor of creating a studio-like space highlighting the artist’s research and collaborative projects. By privileging the dynamics of open experimentation over the finality of the end result, In Process invites visitors to experience the methodologies by which Do Ho Suh iterates on ideas, engages experts from diverse fields, and expresses complex themes through the physical manifestations of his artistic practice.
In addition to a presentation of the finished works Inverted Monument (2022) and Blueprint (2010), the exhibition will include a display of iterative, collaborative work including The Bridge Project as well as a selection of Do Ho Suh’s rubbings, sculptures, and maquettes taken directly from his studio. Visitors will also be invited to contribute to Suh’s Artland, a sculptural landscape comprised of islands inhabited by characters that guests can create from malleable clay.
According to Do Ho Suh this exhibition marks a milestone in his career, “ I am a hugely process-driven artist. This exhibition is something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time,” said Suh. “Much of the work I exhibit I consider to be part of larger processes – whether mental or physical – and for me, it is about that process as much as it is about the outcome. It takes an institution like the Moody to present an exhibition as unusual as this one – it’s a gift as an artist.”
