The US exhibition follows the artist's recent first UK survey show at the Hayward Gallery

Korean contemporary artist Yang Hae-gue will unveil her new series of sculptures in February, inspired by landscapes and animal forms -- signaling a shift in her prolific practice -- at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, Texas, US.
On the heels of a survey exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in London, the upcoming exhibition “Lost Lands and Sunken Fields” will span three galleries and the outdoor sculpture garden, comprising more than 10,000 square feet of museum space.
Over more than 30 years, Yang has developed a hybrid body of work that combines daily-life objects and folk traditions, creating a distinct canon of contemporary sculpture.

Upon entering the museum, visitors will find a group of suspended sculptures that take inspiration from centuries-old kite-making traditions titled “Airborne Paper Creatures – Triple Synecology.” They take flight as abstracted forms of fauna named for their forms of locomotion such as flutterers, swimmers and crawlers.
“The secondary title for the series, ‘Triple Synecology,’ refers to the study of interactions between species that share a habitat,” the museum noted.
A snake-like mythological creature called ‘imoogi’ in Korean, described in folklore as a “failed” giant dragon, has been a recurring character in the artist’s ongoing series “The Intermediates” since 2015. A woven black plastic twine sculpture titled “The Intermediate – Six-Legged Carbonous Epiphyte Imoogi” is in the garden by the terrace of the museum’s cafe.
Curated by Nasher Curator Leigh Arnold, the exhibition will open Saturday, running through April 27. The museum was founded in 2003, dedicated to the display and study of modern art and sculpture, and is home to the Raymond and Patsy Nasher Collection of more than 500 sculptural masterpieces.
