Haegue Yang: Emergence

Haegue Yang is famend for her multifaceted works that modify in type from collage to kinetic sculpture, perceptively evoking historic and up to date narratives of migration, displacement, and cross-cultural translation. Utilizing a language of abstraction, Yang transforms abnormal and home supplies, equivalent to venetian blinds, mild bulbs, drying racks, yarn, and bells, into deeply allegorical, meticulously constructed installations and sculptures that dissociate these supplies from their unique contexts. The artist’s installations grow to be immersive environments that provoke the senses with a range of scents, sounds and textures. That includes essays contextualizing Yang’s creative profession, this guide generates new understandings of Yang’s transformative contributions to the sphere of latest artwork.
