Until this afternoon I had not seen Do-Ho Suh's work. It is pretty remarkable for conveying not just numbers, but relations, reconfiguring any notion of individual achievement or standing. In addition to this work, I recommend his series "public figures" which adds yet another dimension of politics - in effect reversing the relationship between the 'heroes' and 'luminaries' presented in public art and the public.
