Wielandstr.18, 12159 Berlin

I'm visiting Chicago for a few days.  Since the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) is opened till late on Tuesdays, I decided to make it my first stop as soon as I got off the plane yesterday afternoon.  Do Ho Suh's installation Wielandstr.18, 12159 Berlin, a full-scale replica in translucent cloth of the corridor of an apartment building he used to live in, is just as intimate and powerful as his other works I have seen before.
