Haegue Yang discusses her show Triple Vita Nestings with IMA Directors Aileen Burns and Johan Lundh. Known for her complex and sensorial blind installations, sculptures, and video, the South Korean artist translates her research and reflections on historical figures and concrete, domestic phenomena using her meticulous formalist abstract language. She has exhibited in major international shows, including the 2018 Sydney Biennale, 2016 Montréal Biennale, 2015 Sharjah Biennial, 2014 Taipei Biennal, Documenta 13 in Kassel in 2012, and in the 2009 Venice Biennale as the South Korean representative.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
