One Fine Show: “Haegue Yang, Star-Crossed Rendezvous” at LA MOCA

The exhibition brings together two major installations made nearly a decade apart that together explore displacement, neuroses and the long aftermath of historical trauma.

I arrived in Venice for the 61st Biennale Arte on Sunday, early enough for the opening reception at Palazzo Diedo on Monday evening. I’ve visited a number of other Venice Biennales, though it was my first time being there for the opening, and over Bellinis at Diedo I asked a European dealer whether I should tackle the Arsenale the next day or the Giardini. I’d heard the latter would be crowded come Wednesday. Oh no, she said, I had to go to the Giardini on Wednesday because that was the day for which all the protests had been planned. I didn’t have the heart to explain that I needed to prioritize the art, because I am from New York City, where conflict is nothing remarkable. It’s just a part of your daily routine, like coffee.
