About


Haegue Yang’s immersive multimedia environments combine diverse materials and cultural traditions with references ranging from science and art history to political events. Using a range of industrial objects and intensive, craft-based techniques, her works make connections between divergent worlds of contemporary mass production, ancient tradition, and natural phenomena.

This exhibition features recent works by the Seoul and Berlin-based artist that explore interconnectivity and movement. These include Sonic Intermediates – Three Differential Equations (2020), a trio of sculptures that are activated regularly, filling the space with a ritualistic rattling of bells. The sculptures each allude to a pioneering modern artist – Barbara Hepworth, Naum Gabo, and Li Yuan-chia – with a line from Li’s poetry providing the exhibition’s title. The energies generated by movement also play out across Yang’s dramatic wallpaper print Non-Linear and Non-Periodic Dynamics (2020), with images of crashing water suggesting the continually changing and increasingly unpredictable conditions of weather. Visual evocations of the ‘butterfly effect’ are a reminder that tiny actions in one place can have a profound impact in another.

Curator: Russell Storer, Head Curator, International Art and Beatrice Thompson, Associate Curator, Asian and Pacific Art
