Can fantasy unlock and help build a better future?

Welcome to the imaginative world of Artland, an ever-evolving archipelago with blue-pink suns, iridescent rain and a community of plants and creatures born from modelling clay. Here, a single season could span a whole year, the climate is always stable and “government” is an alien concept.

Created in 2016 by South Korean artist Do Ho Suh and his daughters, Aami and Omi Suh, Artland is a meditation on the utopian potential of imagination and collaboration.

Visitors are invited to grow this fantastical ecosystem with their own unique creations and in doing so, reconsider our connection to the natural world.

Artland is a ticketed experience lasting approximately 30 minutes. Each visitor will receive two tubs of coloured clay to sculpt their own creations.

The Artist

Do Ho Suh

Do Ho Suh is a South Korean artist who works across various media, creating drawings, films, and sculptural works that confront questions of home, physical space, displacement, memory, individuality and collectivity.

Suh is best known for his fabric sculptures that reconstruct to scale his former homes in South Korea, Rhode Island, Berlin, London, and New York. He is interested in the malleability of space in both its physical and metaphorical forms, and examines how the body relates to, inhabits, and interacts with that space.

He is particularly interested in domestic space and the way the concept of home can be articulated through architecture that has a specific location, form, and history.

Meet the Slimes of Artland, expressive creatures who has been alive since the dawn of the Universe! This engaging parent-child workshop invites participants to identify expressions and emotions, before creating a Slime of their own to join the fantastical world of Artland.​

This workshop is recommended for children aged 5 to 6.​

Join us for a creative parent-child workshop that explores Artland's thriving ecosystem, where fantastical life forms live in harmony. At the final stage of each session, participants can grow the ecosystem by sculpting and adding their own creations.
