In her solo exhibition at the Gallery of Contemporary Art, the Berlin- and Seoul-based artist Haegue Yang (b. 1971) presents a large-scale installation of 17 individual works that refer to both industrial developments and folk craftsmanship. Modernity and tradition, industrial advances and folksy origins are juxtaposed without comment in Yang’s works, which display a variety of working techniques, ranging from installations made up of industrially manufactured products such as Venetian blinds to elaborately handcrafted sculptures. With their unconventional arrangements, an altering visual language of formal abstraction and narrative figuration unfolds.
