"Air and water, two chemicals vital for life, establish the conceptual thread around which Haegue Yang’s recent solo exhibition in Seoul revolved. These two elements, however, remained elusive in the galleries; the artist’s eponymous sculpture was conspicuously absent, though not by oversight. Art historian and curator Harry C. H. Choi examines the significance of this choice, pointing to the artist’s practice of experimentation, association, and variation. At the MMCA, Yang’s experiments comprise a trial for their own sake, writes Choi, displaying an expansionist approach that will persist until she approaches a perhaps implausible end of complete exhaustion."
