SeMA, Buk-Seoul Museum of Art presents Do Ho Suh’s first collaborative children's exhibition. In ‘Artland’, the artist invites children and young people to participate in the making of an installation.
The exhibition features a complex and fantastical ecosystem called Artland, which Suh and his children have been crafting out of modelling clay for over seven years at their home in London. Artland is inhabited by diverse species of animals and plants, while its unique climate and soil result in different growth cycles and conditions for its flora and fauna to those on Earth.
Suh asks children who visit this show to engage in the creation and expansion of Artland. Working from an existing foundation made by the artist and family, which includes recycled containers, visitors are encouraged to add new elements to this alternative ecosystem based on Artland’s species, as well as those of the participants’ imaginations. In the process, we hope to create special memories for the visitors, as everyday activities become art.
The project also includes a workbook of Artland activities and a fly-through video of the family’s original Artland rendered in 3D.
A cherished gem of northeastern Seoul, the Buk-Seoul Museum of Art is SeMA’s first and largest branch opened to the public in 2013. It seeks to invent new forms of exhibitions and learning programs of contemporary art. Buk SeMA is particularly animated by vibrant local communities including a dozen art colleges as well as many other educational institutions. The experimental spirit of a younger generation of artists plays a vital part in the diverse transdisciplinary programs of Buk SeMA, which aims to become a collaborative station for the future.
