“Abstraction is not a…simplified way of thinking: it’s a leap—a leap into a dimension that cannot otherwise be understood,” says Haegue Yang, whose multimedia installations and sculptures discover a wide selection of fabric associations, immersing the senses. Sequence equivalent to Mild Sculptures and Sonic Sculptures defy genres, usually combining ready-made, mass-produced objects with industrially created substances.

On the Nasher Sculpture Middle in Dallas, Yang’s solo exhibition Misplaced Lands and Sunken Fields engages viewers in a “dialectic of contrasts: light and dark, aerial and grounded, buoyant and heavy, spare and dense, interior and exterior,” an announcement says. The present follows the artist’s first main survey within the U.Okay. at London’s Hayward Gallery, which launched into a collage-forward celebration of labor created throughout the previous 20 years.

Working between Seoul and Berlin, Yang hybridizes people customs and craftsmanship, on a regular basis objects, and vernacular methods in items that mix sculpture, set up, collage, textual content, video, wallpaper, and sound. “Sonic Intermediates – Triad Walker Trinity,” for instance, coats metal frames in tiny bells, metallic rings, plastic twine, and extra, which evoke vaguely animalistic varieties that transfer round on casters.

Time and geography collapse in an abstracted visible language that merges the fashionable and the pre-modern, artwork historical past and literature, and themes of displacement, migration, pressured exile, and world diasporas. Her works “link various geopolitical contexts and histories in an attempt to understand and comment on our own time,” says an announcement from kurimanzutto, which represents the artist.

The gallery additionally presents a concurrent exhibition titled Arcane Abstractions, together with two-dimensional collage works complemented by an archival show of items by Mexican artisans. Yang continues to analyze cultural heritage and ritualistic symbolism via supplies as she forwards “a proposal to live our lives today with a holistic view of mobility and technology, respect for spirituality, as well as contemplation on the resilient adaptability of both nature and humans,” says an announcement. 

Arcane Abstractions continues via April 5 in Mexico Metropolis, and Misplaced Lands and Sunken Fields runs via April 27 in Dallas.
