Helsinki Art Museum presents Haegue Yang’s first solo exhibition in Finland. This exhibition features two monumental sculptural ensembles, Handles (2019) and Warrior Believer Lover – Version Sonic (2023).
Handles, which first premiered at MoMA in 2019, is a multisensory installation comprising six sculptures. They turn mundane objects into visually striking, movable artworks, and can be seen as hybrids, blurring the distinctions between human and technological beings.
Warrior Believer Lover – Version Sonic is a reenactment of Warrior Believer Lover (2011). These 21 sculptures are covered with bells and festooned with wigs, artificial plants, solar panels, and LED lights alongside authentic organic materials such as dried pinecones.
Periodically, music by Isang Yun (1917–1995) and Igor Stravinsky (1882–1971) will accompany these ensembles, creating immersive sculptural symphonies.
