Do Ho Suh's "The Bridge Project"
The strict and non-metric distance between Soeul, South Korea and New York City is 6885 miles. But that says nothing. Where distance is strict, language and culture and climate are fluid, and a traveler from South Korea to New York (or vice-versa) bears witness to that.
Artist Do Ho Suh, a South Korea native, centers his most recent work, “The Bridge Project” around literally bridging the gaps between the two remarkably different cities. His work presents a largely hypothetical architectural creation — a trans-continental bridge –that runs over land and water, countering the very real challenges such a bridge would face. Do Ho Suh and his researchers approached the project from multiple angles, considering the environmental and political challenges of their impossibly vast creation.
The exhibition, housed at Storefront for Art and Architecture, opened last week and runs until 23 December.
