About amazing, fantastic, and sometimes fabulous sculptures-installations by a Korean author Do ho suh we already wrote on Culturology.ru once. Then it was about installations-attractions, where the person - the viewer - plays no less a role than the sculptor himself, because otherwise the essence of the project will not be fully revealed, and this is unacceptable for an art project with a philosophical bias. Today's sculpture-installations will show us the author in a slightly different way: thin nylon, a needle and thread, patterns - and all this for the sake of the project Specimen Series … The works of the Korean sculptor, already familiar to us, literally scream that the author has a tender love for small objects collected in huge quantities. Many of his art projects are built on this contrast, and the Specimen Series is no exception. Like Cinderella, the author cut and sewed from nylon transparent nylon of different colors models of ordinary everyday objects … And not quite everyday ones either.
So, the project consists of nylon door handles, shower neck, dashboards, control panel and some other mechanical objects, the purpose of which remains a mystery to me personally. Do Ho Suh himself describes his project as follows: "These are samples of those things that must certainly remain in my New York apartment, even if all its walls are destroyed."
The mysterious Korean artist, as always, is in his repertoire. And you can see this repertoire at an exhibition in New York's Lehmann Maupin Gallery, where other works by Do Ho Suh, which brought him fame and fame, will be presented.
