****************************************************************
Haegue Yang
****************************************************************

++++ I was born on 12 December 1971 in Seoul, the daughter of the writer, Misoon Kim, and the journalist, Hansoo Yang. A year later two twin brothers arrived. After attending school for several years with summer vacations in between, I also attended a school in Germany. After that I have mostly lived and worked in Germany, but also a lot in Korea. (Haegue Yang)

++++ In her works, Haegue Yang engages with systems of order and standard products. She follows up the question, what basic assumptions and behavioural expectations are manifested in them and thus passed on to users. By means of small changes to the available things (furniture, Filofax inserts and graph paper, for instance, formed the basis for previous works), she makes these implications visible. At the same time she makes an attempt to liberate useful objects from their functional context and give them other connotations. Thus linguistic and didactic processes are further central features of her work. (Isabel Podeschwa)
