Haegue Yang’s practice stems from her interests in the subtle irregularities and minute possibilities that destabilize conventional order. Through deliberate acts of erasing, misplacing, or rearranging the ordinary, Yang’s work directs attention to the underlying structures that regulate perception and experience. The artist explains: “I am truly interested in how one can be a political being…[and] attempt to be engaged without dogma.” Yang’s quietly complex installations employ devices such as humidifiers, scent emitters, lights and customized blinds that provoke the sensorial as an integral part of looking and experiencing.

Yang’s extended residency at REDCAT will culminate in the presentation of her first solo exhibition in the U.S. and the creation of a newly commissioned work. The exhibition is accompanied by a color catalogue co-published with Sala Rekalde in Bilbao, Spain, with contributions by Marcus Steinweg, Eungie Joo, Doryun Chong, Leire Vergara and Clara Kim.
