Portable Sculpture featuring Do Ho Suh at Henry Moore Institute

This major exhibition (18 May–29 August 2021) brings together fifteen artists, with work from 1934 to the present day on display. Several works are being exhibited in the UK for the first time.

The exhibition explores a variety of responses to circumstances in which permanence is difficult to achieve.
