Haegue Yang

Haegue Yang (b. 1971, Seoul) lives in Berlin and Seoul. His works are known for their eloquent and seductive sculptural language of visual abstraction, often derived from the artist's research on historical figures, events and traditional techniques. Yang's varied work includes conceptual works that present aspects of institutional critique. Observing hidden social structures to reimagine a possible community, themes such as migration, post-colonial diasporas and social mobility are reinterpreted and recurring in his works.
