The Bass presents Haegue Yang: In the Cone of Uncertainty

Saturday, November 2nd from 6 – 9pm The Bass brings together new and existing works spanning the last decade, In the Cone of Uncertainty presents a selection of Yang’s oeuvre ranging from blind installations, anthropomorphic sculptures, light sculptures, and mural-like graphic wallpaper pieces that will explore themes related to identities in flux, climate change, notions of movement, displacement and domesticity. This exhibition runs through April 5, 2020.

In addition to sculptural works, her approach often mobilizes performative as well as sonic and olfactory elements. Yang’s works are known not only for their diversity of media and methods, but also for their eloquent and seductive sculptural language of visual abstraction, often derived from her research concerning historical figures and events, and traditional craft techniques. Her multi-sensory environments to go on view at The Bass, prompt uncontrollable and fleeting connotations of time, place, figures and experiences that connect us – transcending the individual field of perception. Some of her anthropomorphic sculptures play with the notion of ‘folk’ as a vernacular idea, while also eclipsing it as a tradition of specific cultures.
