Haegue Yang review – a must-see show if the slats of venetian blinds make you cry

Jonathan Jones | The Guardian | 8th October 2024

Oh dear. Yang’s survey show has produced a pile-on. Her sculptures are made of a wide variety of commonplace materials and are intended to be immersive. They attract a few tepid compliments – “bold”; “exuberant” – but mostly criticism. “Sometimes a pile of stuff is just a pile of stuff” says one critic. “Completely unrewarding” says another. And, to top it off “Yang’s art doesn’t evoke much beyond the chaos and fun we experience when we go down the shops”. Ouch!
