A career-spanning retrospective exhibition of artist Do Ho Suh is coming to Tate Modern in May 2025.
Best known for his large-scale installations, the Korean-born, London-based artist will be offering a crowd-pleasing show with a number of “immersive” works promised that will explore themes of belonging, individuality, connection and disconnection.
Highlights will include brand new installations which have been created especially for this exhibition at Tate Modern. They will be seen alongside some of his most famous early large-scale works and his very famous life-size replicas of his past homes.
In fact, the ‘home’ is a recurring theme in Do Ho Suh’s work, and it’ll come up a lot in this show which is certainly going to be one of the most instagrammable of London’s exhibitions next summer.

Suh asks timely and meaningful questions about the enigma of home, identity and how we move through and inhabit the world around us. He wants visitors to this show to ponder on whether home is a place, a feeling, or an idea?
If you do visit, you’ll be able to examine the intricate relationship between architecture, space, the body, and the memories and the moments that make us who we are. You’ll move though the Tate’s spacious galleries and through the recreated passages and thresholds of Suh's renowned fabric architectures.
It’s not going to be all huge pieces and artworks however. Also shown in significant numbers will be delicate works on paper, as well as a number of videos.
For now, that’s all the detail we have from Tate on what the exhibition will feature. Which also means we don’t know how much tickets will be or when they will go sale.
But we do know that this is just one of a really-quite-packed 2025 exhibition programme from the gallery.
Others to add to your to-visit list include a Leigh Bowery exhibition opening in February, and a show dedicated to Picasso’s The Three Dancers which will mark 100 years since the iconic painting was made.
The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh opens at Tate Modern in London on 01 May 2025 and will run until 26 October.
