Culture Works: An exclusive look at Haegue Yang exhibition
Last month we were joined by our Culture Works members at a networking breakfast and exclusive private look at Southbank Centre’s Hayward Gallery exhibition, Haegue Yang: Leap Year.
Haegue Yang: Leap Year exhibition
Haegue Yang’s work spans a vast range of media – from paper collage to performative sculpture and immense sensorial installations.
Equally as wide-ranging, her inspiration draws on diverse histories and customs, including East Asian traditions and folklore, modernism, contemporary art history and nature.
Yang uses a variety of crafts, techniques and materials in her work, tapping into the cultural connotations they carry. Her works often feature a variety of household and industrial objects, including drying racks, light bulbs, metal-plated bells, nylon pom-poms, hand-knitted yarn and hanji (Korean paper).
Leap Year is the first major survey of the internationally celebrated artist in the UK. It presents a comprehensive study of Yang’s work from the early 2000s to today, highlighting how her artworks resonate on a personal and sensory level while also speaking to social, political and spiritual ideas.
The exhibition features key works from some of her most notable series, including Light Sculptures and Sonic Sculptures, complemented by three new major commissions and a number of new productions.
Read more about the exhibition here and be sure to check it out before it ends on the 5th of January.
