𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴 𝘌𝘹𝘩𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: 𝘋𝘰 𝘏𝘰 𝘚𝘶𝘩: 𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 is the artist Do Ho Suh's first major solo exhibition in London for a generation, presenting his practice over the last three decades. The artist invites visitors to explore his large-scale installations, sculptures, videos and drawings, asking questions about home, memory, identity and how we move through and inhabit the world around us.
The exhibition’s title 'Walk the House' is derived from “hanok,” a traditional Korean house that could theoretically be disassembled, transported and reassembled at a new site. Reflecting this idea of a transportable home, Suh’s immersive works examine the relationship between architecture, space, the body and memory.

The Genesis Facade Commission: Lee Bul, Long Tail Halo features four new site-specific works by artist Lee Bul (b. 1964). Known for her sophisticated use of both highly industrial and labor-intensive materials, Lee incorporates artisanal practices as well as technological advancements into her work, addressing the aspirations and disillusions that come with progress.
The artworks presented in this exhibition symbolize, both independently and in dialogue, the abiding human desire for progress and perfection while hinting at the failures and repercussions inherent to these pursuits. Together they reflect the endless revisions and transformations in the long narratives of history.
