The exhibition at CAM marks Haegue Yang’s first solo museum presentation with a comprehensive selection of works in the midwest since 2009. Quasi-Heartland features a selection of sculptures and installations spanning the last twenty-five years of her practice.
CAM has commissioned a major new work, Mound Vehicles (2025), a four-part venetian blind sculpture that responds to the Museum’s architecture, sited within the bay of windows and visible from outdoors. Mound Vehicles engages the St. Louis region’s precolonial history and the Mississippi River landscape. The work is inspired by CAM’s proximity to Cahokia, the site of large-scale earthen constructions made by Native Americans in the 9th century near the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.
