HAEGUE YANG: THE CONE OF CONCERN HC – JOSELINA CRUZ

Haegue Yang: The Cone of Concern documents the first solo exhibition in the Philippines of celebrated Korean artist Haegue Yang, who is known for her unique interweaving of conceptual language and aesthetic vocabulary. The Cone of Concern, which takes its name from a weather forecasting tool that traces the path of an oncoming storm, presents humanity’s attempt to confront natural phenomena. The publication draws out the notion of solidarity among those facing difficult circumstances and revisits Yang’s complex layering of objects woven anthropomorphic sculptures, light sculptures, rotating sound bells, whirlwind-derived structures, textile canopies, and sound elements against a lenticular print backdrop of a digitally altered meteorological image.
