Lending a quiet
poetry to the
quotidian...
 

STPI Workshop: 
An internationally
renowned resource
for artists working
with print & paper. 

The exhibition: 
Is (in part) a
commemorative 
celebration of the
renowned Korean
artist's longstanding
relationship with STPI
—focusing on objects,
fixtures and fittings
attached to the walls
of the gallery. 

‘Rubbing/Loving’: 

The works presented 
form as a part of Suh's 
ongoing series, in which
rubbings of interior
spaces and everyday
objects are created in
a process that discloses
& memorialises details of
the artist’s surroundings. 

...in these works
the paper functions
as an epidermis—a
second or surrogate
skin—that bears the
impression of his own
touch: pastel, applied
with the fingertips
in a gesture the artist
describes as a ‘caress’.
