Haegue Yang: ETA 1994–2018, 2018 Wolfgang Hahn Prize Haegue Yang: ETA 1994 -1998, 2018 Wolfgang Hahn Prize

In 2018 Haegue Yang will be recognized by the
Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst am Museum Ludwig
with the Wolfgang Hahn Prize. The Museum Ludwig
will showcase the remarkable versatility of her entire
oeuvre in the artist’s first-ever survey exhibition with over
120 works ranging from lacquer paintings to photographs,
works on paper and video, anthropomorphic light sculptures,
performative pieces, and large-scale venetian
blind installations.
Yang’s diverse oeuvre includes elements of Institutional
Critique and is conceptual as well as rich in cultural and
historical references, while simultaneously sensually
complex and emotionally charged. This will lend the
exhibition the quality of a Gesamtkunstwerk—harmonious
yet full of dissonances.
