BOOK:Haegue Yang-Anthology 2006-18,Skira Editore

The expansive spectrum of Haegue Yang’s work, flows freely between social inquiry and history, her personal life and collective memory, yielding images and experiences of enormous evocative power, in which objects, figures and places are inextricably linked.  Yang employs a vast array of mediums, ranging from collage, video essay and performative sculpture to large-scale installation. She uses an on-going process of experimentation, where chance encounters with objects and materials generate unexpected forms, emotions and narratives. Published on the occasion of the artist’s first solo exhibition in Italy, organized by La Triennale di Milano at the Fondazione Furla in 2018, the book “Haegue Yang: Anthology 2006-2018. Tightrope Walking and Its Wordless Shadow”, by Skira Editore, is a rich, fully illustrated anthology of fifteen significant essays and conversations on Yang’s work, traveling through recurring themes, such as abstraction and geometry, movement and performativity, folding and unfolding, and conveying their depth and complexity as interwoven entities. The book also features images of landmark pieces that represent milestones in Yang’s oeuvre since 2000 as well as of her newly commissioned works.-Efi Michalarou
