The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA, Director Youn Bummo), presents 《MMCA Hyundai Motor Series 2020: Haegue Yang - O2 & H2O》 from Tuesday, 29 September to Sunday, 28 February 2021 at MMCA Seoul
《O2 & H2O》 is an exhibition as hybrid as our reality. Yang takes the knowledge, conventions and phenomena formed in various sociocultural spheres and articulates them in a “fantastic” visual language of transcendental space and time, creating groups of sculptures, such as Sonic Domesticus and The Intermediates, adorned with bells and artificial weaving materials. Her sculpture–beings inhabiting somewhere between living organisms and machines, or inanimate objects and humans evoke the grotesque and familiarity of folklore. As an exhibition within an exhibition, Mok Woo Workshop - 108 Wooden Spoons presents objets d’art and texts of the carpenter and writer Woohee Kim, an acquaintance of the artist and her family, contemplating on the meaning of everyday life, locality, community, and performativity in craftsmanship.
