Leap Year is the first major survey of Haegue Yang in the UK. It presents a comprehensive study of Yang’s work from the early 2000s to today, highlighting how her artworks resonate on a personal and sensory level while also speaking to social, political and spiritual ideas.
The exhibition features key works from some of her most notable series, including Light Sculptures and Sonic Sculptures, complemented by three new major commissions and a number of new productions.
These works bring together a wide spectrum of visual and sensory experiences through the mediums of installation, sculpture, collage, text, video, wallpaper, sound.
Yang (born 1971, Seoul) lives and works in both Berlin and Seoul. Her multisensory environments encourage perception beyond the visual, creating immersive experiences that highlight issues such as labour, migration, and displacement.
