“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’.”
