Haegue Yang. Anthology 2006–2018. Tightrope Walking and Its Wordless Shadow.

“The decision to structure the publication not as a traditional catalogue but as an anthology is complementary to the premises on which the exhibition is grounded. While the exhibition project comprises all of Yang’s production, albeit not philologically but through a circumscribed selection encompassing the most representative families of work, the book reconstructs all the cornerstones of her work and clearly shows its complexity and coherence by gathering together the most significant texts published so far on Yang.”
Bruna Roccasalva

Haegue Yang. Anthology 2006–2018. Tightrope Walking and Its Wordless Shadow is a rich, fully illustrated anthology of fifteen significant essays and conversations on Yang’s work, written between 2006 and 2018 and compiled together for the first time in English with an Italian appendix by Skira editore.

Conceived in conjunction with Yang’s solo exhibition Tightrope Walking and Its Wordless Shadow at La Triennale di Milano in 2018, this volume certainly aims at being more than an exhibition catalogue in spite of extensive exhibition views, boasting those of landmark pieces since 2000. Intended to go beyond mere documentation of an exhibition, this anthology’s profound scholarship by prominent curators, writers, and art historians on Yang’s practice constitutes a valuable instrument for in-depth study on the artist.
 

This volume has been published with the support of DELOITTE.
