Haus der Kunst is pleased to announce that Haegue Yang will be the inaugural artist for DER ÖFFENTLICHKEIT – VON DEN FREUNDEN HAUS DER KUNST [To the Public - from the friends of Haus der Kunst], an annual art commission conceived especially by the museum for the Middle Hall of the historic building with the support and collaboration of the Gesellschaft der Freunde [the museum’s friends association]. The first in this series of commissions of contemporary art, Haegue Yang's specially developed work will be unveiled to the public on November 9, 2012.

The installation's title "Accommodating the Epic Dispersion – On Non-cathartic Volume of Dispersion" itself occupies a significant amount of space and forms the counterpart to the multiple layers of blinds that sometimes hinder the unimpeded view into the hall. The title also alludes to Haegue Yang's inspirations, which lie in the literary processing of migration and diaspora.
