The Facts
On September 3, 2026, White Cube announced that PODO Museum is presenting 'A Note From Trembling Things', a group exhibition featuring Mona Hatoum, at Sunhyewon in Seoul. The show runs September 2 through October 31, 2026, and includes Hatoum's Web (2025), a large-scale installation of transparent glass spheres threaded through wires to form a spider's web, alongside works by Korean artists Choi Sungim and Kim Yunsoo. The three artists foreground natural and man-made materials often overlooked in everyday life—including spider webs, plastic, and cardboard—imbuing them with presence and spectacle. For Hatoum, the web symbolizes the interconnectedness of all things and the physical and psychological webs of entrapment people navigate.
The Signal
The Seoul presentation signals continued institutional demand for Hatoum's recent work in Asia. Pairing her with Korean artists Choi Sungim and Kim Yunsoo connects her exploration of fragile materials to a broader contemporary discourse on materiality. For collectors, museum exposure of a 2025 work such as Web can reinforce its standing, and the show gives the region a direct look at Hatoum's newest output.
