Beginning November 2, 2019, The Bass will present an exhibition of the works of South Korean artist Haegue Yang. Artwork to be displayed include sculptural works and large-scale installations that are made of venetian blinds, one of Yang’s signature materials. Yang’s work is said to reflect a relentless curiosity about the world, evoke feelings of displacement, and generate profound feelings of foreignness and alienation on both social and existential levels. These realities perhaps accurately reflect the current thoughts of the nation, and is fittingly on display at The Bass, where 50 percent of Miami-Dade county is born outside of the United States.
The exhibition will be held on both the first and second floor galleries of the museum. Two of her venetian blind installations from will be juxtaposed in one room to create new narratives. In an adjacent gallery, Yang’s works from her series, Sonic Sculptures, will be on display, which pair notions of movement and sound, history, and figure. Also, Yang will execute a site-specific wallpaper merging the exhibition spaces across The Bass’ two floors.
