About the Exhibition
"Haegue Yang: Come Shower or Shine, It Is Equally Blissful" is the final installment of UCCA's Secret Timezones Trilogy, a suite of consecutive solo exhibitions by contemporary Asian artists whose works reveal dislocated temporalities lying dormant behind mundane objects. The trilogy is curated by UCCA consulting curator Venus Lau, this exhibition with assistant curator Felicia Chen, and sponsored by SEDANT·ZIQUE.
Barco is the video equipment sponsor, and production support comes from ORION.
Published with support from Post Wave Publishing Consulting and designed by United Design Labs, Beijing, the exhibition catalogue, Haegue Yang: Come Shower or Shine, It Is Equally Blissful, includes a selection of nine previously published essays and conversations translated into Chinese as well as a curatorial essay by Venus Lau and a dialogue between Haegue Yang and Liu Wei.
About the Artist
Haegue Yang (b. 1971, Seoul) has lived and worked between her native city, Seoul, and Europe, since 1994. Through abstract and complex visual languages embodied in installations, light sculptures, straw sculptures, graphics, paper collages, wallpaper, and video essays, Yang translates her subjective reflections of specific narratives, engaging various modes of materiality from industrially manufactured goods to handicraft techniques. Yang represented South Korea at the 53rd Venice Biennale (2009) and exhibited at dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel (2012). Her recent solo exhibitions took place at Haus der Kunst München (2012), Museum of Contemporary Art, Strasbourg (2013), Bergen Kunsthall (2013), and Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art, Seoul (2015).
