Provenienz Lehmann Maupin, New York; Gazelli Art House, London; Privatsammlung, England Seit seiner Ausstellung in Hongkong 2013 arbeitet der koreanische Künstler Do Ho Suh konsequent an der Erweiterung seiner Specimen-Series, in der er seine persönlichen Alltagsgegenstände maßstabsgetreu mit Polyestergewebe nachbildet. Zu dieser Serie zählt auch das Werk „Stove“, dessen Werktitel den ursprünglichen Standort der Vorlage, Do Ho Suhs Apartment in New York, in sich trägt. Die Präsentation in einer lichtdurchfluteten Vitrine zeigt die feingliedrige Substanz der Arbeit und legt den Blick in ihr Inneres frei. Mit der Serie studiert der Künstler die Beziehung seiner realen Umgebung und Erinnerung, die er anhand der membranartigen Nachbildung der konkreten Objekte in eine physische Form überführt. Auch der persönliche Bezug zu diesen Gegenständen und das mit ihnen verbundene Gefühl von Heimat sind Aspekte, die in dem Werk thematisiert werden. "What I'm trying to do is memorialize the idea of the home - to carry it with me whenever I go. It sounds like such a cliché, but for me home is ultimately where the heart is." He pauses. "Actually that's a really nice way of putting it. I think it's more accurate to say that I feel like I'm haunted by a space. It's like a ghost, following me around all the time."

Provenance Lehmann Maupin, New York; Gazelli Art House, London; private collection, England Since his exhibition in Hong Kong in 2013, the Korean artist Do Ho Suh worked consistently to extend his Specimen Series in which he reproduces his personal everyday objects to scale in polyester fabric. The work Stove also pertains to this series, the title carrying the original location of the model, Do Ho Suhs apartment in New York. The presentation in a brightly illuminated glass case shows the delicacy of the work exposing the view of its inner substance. With this series, the artist studies the relationship of his real surroundings and memories which he transfers into a physical form by means of a membrane-like replica of the concrete objects. The personal relationship to these objects and the feeling of home connected to them are also aspects addressed in the work.
