HAEGUE YANG

Combining the tactile and the olfactory, Yang explored print by incorporating local spices and vegetables in her techniques. This evoked the senses of smell, sight, and touch; heightening the physical and sensorial characteristics of these everyday materials. This collaboration has produced works such as Spice Moon Cycle (2015), Spice Moons (2013), and Spice Sheets (2012); which were shown in STPI under the title, Haegue Yang: Honesty Printed on Modesty (2013). The works were also added to the collections of the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo; Museum of Modern Art, New York; and UBS Art Collection, Zurich, respectively.

A selection of her recent notable exhibitions includes Lingering Nous, Centre Pompidou, Paris (2016); The Malady of Death: Écrire and Lire, Hong Kong (2015); Shooting the Elephant象 Thinking the Elephant, Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art, Seoul (2015); Family of Equivocations, Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Strasbourg (2013); Accomodating the Epic Dispersion, Haus der Kunst, Munich (2012); Arrivals, Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria (2011); and Voice and Wind, New Museum, New York (2010).

Furthermore, her work has been included in the Biennale de Lyon (2015); Sharjah Biennial (2015); Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (2015); West China Art Biennale (2012); dOCUMENTA Kassel (2012); Gwangju Biennale (2010); Venice Biennale (2009); Guangzhou Triennial (2008); and PRAGUEBIENNALE3 (2007).
