“Passage” by Do Ho Suh is at the Contemporary Arts Center until Sept. 11. Normal Guy John David Back already told you the exhibit was an amazing one, well worth your time and a visit to the downtown museum. (And admission is free!)

“Let me try to word this in blunt, Normal Guy terms: this man built entire life-size rooms with a needle and thread,” Back wrote. “He sewed a two-stories-tall blue stairwell complete with blood-red stairs and bannisters. He sewed two gigantic mirroring arches that look like they could be holding up minivans on the Roebling.

Who here even knows the right way to sew a button back onto a shirt?”

If you need more reason to consider “Passage,” check out this post from Enjoy The Arts, which explains Chase Public’s responses to Do Ho Suh’s marvelous creations. Here’s an excerpt:

“(W)e all learned a bit more about ourselves thanks to the collaboration between CAC’s curator, Steven Matijico, and Chase Public’s creative minds. … The group treated us to an evening of original song, dance, music, and poetry among other creative endeavors.”

In “Passage,” Korean-American artist Do Ho Suh explores the ideas of home and migration. His recreations of everyday objects also are simply beautiful, Back said, inspiring you to marvel at the world around you.

“Spend just 20 minutes in this exhibit and you’ll leave feeling refreshed and alive, I promise,” Back wrote.
