The IMA will present the first solo exhibition in Australia by the celebrated Korean artist Haegue Yang. Known for her complex and sensorial blind installations, sculptures, and video, Yang translates her research and reflections on historical figures and concrete, domestic phenomena using her meticulous language of formalist abstraction. The show will bring together a selection of works from the past decade, spanning video, sculpture, and installation. The exhibition will also feature major new sculptures co-commissioned by the IMA and the 21st Biennale of Sydney.
