The Facts

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York will present "I dream in another language | Do Ho Suh," the first major solo museum exhibition in New York dedicated to Korean artist Do Ho Suh (b. 1962, Seoul), opening in February 2027. Featuring more than 50 works spanning three decades, the exhibition will include drawings, sculptures, and large-scale installations exploring themes of belonging, memory, and movement across places. Highlights include the world premiere of "Rubbing/Loving: Apartment A and B, 348 West 22nd Street, New York, NY 10011, USA (2014–26)," a walk-through installation replicating the artist's former Chelsea apartments at full scale, created by covering interiors with paper and rubbing surfaces with pastel and colored pencil. Other works include "Some/One" (2004), a robe made from military dog tags; "Hubs" (2011– ), translucent fabric passageways; and recent works from "Fatherhood" (2011– ).

The Signal

The exhibition is organized by Kyung An, Curator, Asian Art Initiative, and Head, Global Exhibitions Initiative, with support from Faith Hunter, Curatorial Assistant. It traces Suh's investigation of architecture as both physical structure and psychological space, drawing from loans and the Guggenheim New York collection. The show underscores the Guggenheim's long-term commitment to Asian art, launched with its Asian Art Initiative twenty years ago, and positions Suh's work as a globally engaged practice that resonates with contemporary conversations around identity and diaspora. A catalogue with scholarly essays and writings by the artist will accompany the exhibition.
