Overview

An essential publication on Haegue Yang’s work Over the past three decades, Haegue Yang (born 1971, Seoul, South Korea) has developed a prolific and hybrid body of work that folds quotidian objects and folk traditions into the canon of modern and contemporary sculpture-making. Informed by in-depth exploration into vernacular techniques and related customs and rituals, along with her continual movement through disparate cultures, Yang’s work is both homage to and critique of the modernist project toward singular Western domination. Lost Lands and Sunken Fields documents Yang’s 2025 solo exhibition at the Nasher Sculpture Center, which occupied two levels of the museum’s galleries and gardens and debuted two new bodies of work that represent a significant turn in the artist’s sculptural production. This catalogue includes extensive photo documentation of the exhibition, along with essays by Nasher curator, Leigh Arnold, and scholars and curators Tom McDonough and Yasmil Raymond. Also included within Lost Lands and Sunken Fields is a floorplan of the exhibition and an illustrated list of exhibited works.

Author Information

Open since 2003, the Nasher Sculpture Center is home to one of the finest collections of modern and contemporary sculpture in the world, the Raymond and Patsy Nasher Collection, featuring more than 300 masterpieces by Calder, de Kooning, di Suvero, Giacometti, Gormley, Hepworth, Kelly, Matisse, Miró, Moore, Picasso, Rodin, Serra, Shapiro, and Turrell, among others. The longtime dream of the late Raymond and Patsy Nasher, the museum is an urban oasis in the heart of the downtown Dallas Arts District. Leigh Arnold is Curator at the Nasher Sculpture Center and curator for Lost Lands and Sunken Fields. A scholar of Land art, Minimal and Post-Minimal sculpture, Arnold’s curatorial focus at the Nasher expands to contemporary art and tends to foreground artists whose practice subverts or broadens traditional understandings of sculpture. Tom McDonough is Professor of Art History at Binghamton University, State University of New York, where he teaches modern and contemporary art. The author and editor of several books on postwar art, he is a frequent contributor to journals such as Artforum, OCTOBER, and Texte zur Kunst and has published extensively on a wide range of contemporary artists, including Leonor Antunes, Mario García Torres, Adam Pendleton, Amie Siegel, Christopher Williams, and Haegue Yang. Yasmil Raymond has worked as a curator since 2004. Retrospectives that she has co-curated include Rirkrit Tiravanija, Donald Judd, Carl Andre and Kara Walker. She has curated exhibitions with Jean-Luc Moulène, Franz Erhard Walther, Tino Sehgal and Tomas Saraceno, and commissioned outdoor projects with Thomas Hirschhorn and Allora & Calzadilla. She currently lives in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
