The Intermediates, a new group of works introducing extensive straw craftwork, focuses on the dispersion of materials and craft. While the various cultures of different regions have a degree of fundamental similarity, each civilization also constructs its own individuality; these works likewise explore folk concepts that have their own independent identity but, at the same time, a certain universality. Using straw―a material with folk implications, but which is common across human civilization―and the methodology of traditional straw craftwork, the artist approaches a level of interdisciplinary hybrid culture that transcends similarity and difference.

Internationally renowned artist Haegue Yang creates installations that include photographic, video, and sculptural elements, and are informed by the artist’s philosophical and political investigations. Responding to the places where she exhibits, Yang creates site-specific new work that incorporates both the architecture of the exhibition space and materials gathered from the region. Her highly refined and yet completely particular sense of materiality, combined with an elegant sense of space and atmosphere, contribute to her enveloping and resonant installations.
Haegue Yang (born December 12, 1971) is a South Korean artist. She lives and works in Berlin and Seoul. Yang often uses standard household objects in her works, and tries to liberate them from their functional context, and apply other connotations and meaning to them. “Linguistic and didactic processes” are central features of her work. Much of Yang’s artworks attempt to provide sensory experiences through abstract narratives.
