Overview

Curators and writers Ann Coxon and Nav Haq explore the themes of craft, storytelling, histories and cross-cultural dialogues in the work of Haegue Yang.

Haegue Yang: Leap Year is the first major survey of the internationally celebrated artist in the UK. It presents a comprehensive study of Yang’s work from the early 2000s to today, highlighting how her artworks resonate on a personal and sensory level while also speaking to social, political and spiritual ideas.

She is currently completing a PhD thesis focusing on new tapestry in Europe from 1960 – 1979.
Nav Haq is a curator and writer based in Antwerp, whose practice focuses on questions of equality and internationalism in the 21st century, and how to embed them within artist-centred institutional and curatorial reflection.
