Haegue Yang (*1971 in Seoul/KR) lives and works in Berlin and Seoul and is a Professor of Fine Arts at Städelschule since 2017. She is equally interested in how the formal and conceptual, as well as the narrative language in art, form an irresistible paradox in contemplating and reflecting the conflicts of our time and circumstances. Considering the ever-developing communications technology and its overwhelming possibility, amidst our increasing curiosity on civilization and questions on the status of human beings within it, mute abstraction is nothing but a lingering voice, murmuring an “absence of identity.” Solo exhibitions as of late took place at South London Gallery, London; La Panacée-MoCo, Montpellier; IMA, Brisbane; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; and Centre Pompidou, Paris. Her work was included in several group shows, most recently at Para Site, Hong Kong; Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin; National Gallery Singapore and Hamburger Kunsthalle.
