Published on the occasion of the exhibition Lingering Nous at Centre Pompidou during summer 2016, this book gathers a large body of artworks composed of Venetian blinds. Made by Haegue Yang over the past decade, these suspensions are challenging this material as industrially manufactured products through a variety of geometric abstractions and exploration of discursive moments in history and the present. This monograph documents twenty-one installations reproduced and introduced by artist texts and preceeded by essays by Nicolas Liucci-Goutnikov, curator of the exhibition, and by Tom McDonough, critic and associate professor at Binghampton University, USA.
Contributions by Haegue Yang, Nicolas Liucci-Goutnikov, Tom McDonough.
