I was invited to give a gallery talk about the exhibition, Do-Ho Suh (23 April – 26 May 2002) at the Serpentine Gallery, London and this text derives from my script for the guided tour. Do-Ho Suh, curated by Lisa G. Corrin and Mary Shirley, debuted at the Serpentine Gallery, London, 2002, and travelled to the Seattle Art Museum and Seattle Asian Art Museum, Seattle, 2002. The text from my talk was published in Jane Rendell, Site-Writing: The Architecture of Art Criticism (London: IB Tauris, 2010), and the material in this chapter is taken from configuration 5 of that book. I would like to extend my thanks to IB Tauris for allowing this reproduction of the text, albeit in a new arrangement.
