That makes sense when you look around the show because his practice keeps layering different times and space places rather than leaving one neatly behind.

So the exhibition is simply titled Do-Ho Suh, just his name, and it is at the MMCA Seoul through February ninth next year.

And it takes over the third, fourth, and fifth galleries on the basement level as well as the MMCA studio on the second floor.

And admission is not too expensive.

Well, now to the museum gift shop, which it says here is growing ever more upscale as a thing.

Lee's signature deep, steady voice will guide visitors through the exhibit, which also features pieces donated by the family of the late Samsung chairman Lee Kun-hee.

This isn't Lee's first foray into cultural narration either.
