Description
First major UK survey of the internationally celebrated artist Haegue Yang (b.1971, Seoul), known for her dramatic sculptural installations.
Considered to be one of the leading artistic voices of her generation, Haegue Yang's work is both spellbinding and boundary-pushing, probing into contemporary ideas of cross-cultural pollination, modernism and folk traditions, and personal and political histories.
Leap Year illuminates Yang's interdisciplinary and highly inventive practice from the early 2000s to today. This richly illustrated book includes essays by Hayward Gallery Senior Curator Yung Ma and writer Pablo Larios, an interview with the artist by curator and writer Lynne Cooke, and a graphic essay on Yang's life and art by illustrator Chihoi.
