It’s time again for MOCA Cleveland to turn the page, as it does quarterly, and open a new set of its typically engaging and provocative shows.
It will be lifting the curtain on the self-titled Do Ho Suh, featuring the work of internationally noted Korean artist Do Ho Suh, whose work deals with humble domestic spaces. He creates large-scale fabric installations that recreate places where he has lived, installations that visitors can walk through, as well as fabric versions of common household items. The exhibit also includes his Rubbing/Love Project in which he’s transferred rubbings of places in his New York apartment to paper.
Want a little art jargon with that?
“His works highlight the porous boundary between public and private space as well as notions of global identity, space, nomadism, memory, displacement, and the meaning of home,” says MOCA.
Also opening is a sound installation by artist/musician/composer Fatima Al Qadiri called Chinas of the Mind and Off The Ruling Class by Israeli artist Nevet Yitzhak, a multi-media installation she created after travelling to Cleveland and seeing the Rodin scullpture The Thinker at the Cleveland Museum of Art which was bombed by unknown persons in 1970.
The shows debut with a free, open to all reception at MOCA. Do Ho Suh will give an artist talk at 7pm, following by mingling and music. Both shows run through 1/10/2016.
