Images by rcruzniemiec aka archatlas
Do Ho Suh: Almost Home is the first major exhibition of the artist’s work on the East Coast. It will feature large-scale installations of the artist’s brightly hued “Hub” sculptures—intricately detailed, hand-sewn fabric recreations of homes where Suh has lived from around the world—along with several drawings and a series of semi-transparent replicas of household objects called “Specimens.” The Hubs comprise a series of conjoined rooms and passageways that visitors can enter and experience from the inside, including a new work depicting the artist’s childhood home in Seoul that will debut in the exhibition.

The Wagon Station Encampment at Joshua Tree
For those who want to get out into the middle of nowhere to experience the Mohave desert in a unique way, artist Andrea Zittel has built the Wagon Station Encampment with a science fiction aesthetic.
Consisting of just 12 small cabins (maybe more appropriately described as pods) and a communal kitchen area, outdoor showers, and outhouses, the encampment manages to give a visitor as much of an opportunity to meet new people and enjoy a more solitary retreat. The pods are each really paired down – just a mattress, two shelves, an area for storing clothes, and a front hatch with a window for looking out at the desert sky. The encampment is made open to the public twice a year and can be reserved for $100 a week after filing a $20 application fee and being approved.
