Haegue Yang: The Cone of Concern documents the Koreanartist's solo exhibition at the Museum of ContemporaryArt and Design in Manila. Known for her unique interweavingof conceptual language and aesthetic vocabulary, Yang,who lives and works in Berlin and Seoul, is one of the mostwidely exhibited artists of today as well as a professor atthe renowned Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main.
The Cone of Concern, which takes its name from a graphicaltool used in weather forecasting, which traces the pathof an oncoming storm, represents humanity's attempt toconfront natural phenomena. Yang explores this conceptas a way for the human imagination to understand ourown condition in the universe, and as a metaphoricalnotion of solidarity among those facing difficult circumstances.The publication revisits her complex layering ofobjects-woven anthropomorphic sculptures, light sculptures,rotating sound bells, whirlwind-derived structures,textile canopies, and sound elements-against a lenticul arprint backdrop of a digitally altered meteorological image.
