About the Event
Haegue Yang’s works bring together a variety of working methods, ranging from complex installations with industrially-produced items, to hand-made sculptures using quasi-traditional craft such as knitting, paper making, origami and macramé to create installations and performative abstractions with eloquent and seductive visual language. Her works are simultaneously conceptual and sensorial, ambivalent yet revelatory, operating in the realms of politics, history, and culture.
