Haegue Yang is invited by curator Nicolas Bourriaud to participate in the group exhibition Shun that he is curating on the occasion of the 2021 edition of Asia Now.
"Some exhibitions are part of thematic cycles, and are born from a kind of rumination. Shun, which brings together artists from the Asian continent, extends in the form of a note, or a tighter focus, the biennial I organized in Taipei in 2014, The Great Acceleration. That one, the first one I devoted to the Anthropocene and how climate change was affecting the artists' gaze, already consisted of an East/West dialogue - to move quickly. But Shun focuses on the origins, and tries to highlight the ideological, mental, philosophical sources of the gap that has separated, for centuries, the European space and the Chinese space." —Nicolas Bourriaud
