Haegue Yang- Sallim, 2009


Haegue Yang made this piece, Sallim, in 2009 and it entails many materials to make a large scale structure with many parts. Haegue is having a exhibition on her series, Condensation, and this piece is a part of the series.  Haegue likes to explore  vulnerable sites like her Berlin kitchen, where informal development can happen. Haegue Yang focuses on the ideal in this piece of how a kitchen can be used for in ways that are not ordinary.  She is thinking outside the box and uses made design principles in her art which inspires me to look for different ways to show my theme.

            Haegue Yang uses many materials in her piece like Steel frame, perforated metal plate, caster, aluminum venetian blinds, knitting yarn, acrylic mirror, IV stand, light bulbs, cable, electric fan, timer, garlic, dishes, hot pad, and scent emitter which display a structure that is unique and interesting.  It inspires me how she makes a big artwork that may not be magnificent, but displays her idea well.  Her preparation and thought processes are what I look at and what I need to work on more.  This piece, Sallim, has many parts that create a whole, which has rhythm, movement, and makes the viewer want to walk around it to understand it. This is the path I want to take too.
