Haegue Yang: Flat Works surveys two decades of the artist’s two-dimensional explorations, including so-called Lacquer Paintings, Hardware Store Collages, Trustworthies (abstractions made from security envelopes, sandpaper, and more), wallpapers, Spice and Vegetable prints, and finally Mesmerizing Mesh (cut and folded paper collages based on international shamanistic practices). Aspects of these series have been exhibited in the past, but never comprehensively in order to consider their cumulative impact and the throughlines across each project. One of the most important artists working today, Yang is best known as a sculptor and installation artist. Nonetheless, she considers her two-dimensional investigations as essential to her creative development.
