do ho suh: home within home
leeum samsung museum of art, seoul, south korea
open now until june 3rd, 2012
‘home within home’ is a solo representation of do ho suh’s work showcasing the korean artist’s newest sculptural pieces.
the special exhibition gallery of leeum samsung museum of art has been decorated with suh’s thread-and-sheer-fabric-drawn
representations of his nomadic existence living in major urban centers such as seoul, new york and berlin.
in ‘home within home’, the artist investigates the idea of truly inhabiting a place, developing the concept of ‘home’ as skeletal representations
throughout the museum, actualizing this concept as both a boundary and passageway in the gallery space. each piece exists as an entirely
separate experience, influenced by the light and surrounding architecture; the orientation of the suspended works in comparison to one another
also reveals a greater complexity to the artist’s examination of ‘the home’ through this assemblage of bright floating structures. via

Unwanted Visitor: Portrait Of Wildfire
If you look closely, you’ll notice that these 3 dimensional sculptures are made from hundreds of thousands of Crayola crayons! Artist Herb Williams, who is one of the few individuals who has an account with Crayola (WTF!), wanted to raise awareness through sculpture for the wildfires that have recently ravaged the state of Texas.
Unwanted Visitor: Portrait Of Wildfire consists of 5 five swirling flames, which over time would melt and change shape due to weather conditions. The project is display till the end of the year in Lubbock, Texas at theNational Ranching Heritage Center. (Quoted from HonestlyWTF)
