{"product_id":"9783775762625","title":"Haegue Yang. The Great Forgetfulness","description":"Based on Haegue Yang's commissioned work of the same name for the National Sculpture Factory (Cork, Ireland) in 2023\/24, the expanded publication \"The Great Forgetfulness\" is now being released. This artist's book explores the complex relationship between individual and collective forgetting in societies. Human history is marked by conflicts and violence, such as colonization and epidemics. Yang's work addresses the necessity of forgetting for coping with traumatic memories, while also reflecting on the loss of memories within an ethical context. With numerous illustrations and in-depth essays, the publication sheds light on central questions concerning (in)visibility and collective identity. Illuminated letters in a microlandscape – a contribution to the current debate on remembrance culture and postcolonial theory in contemporary art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaegue Yang was born in Seoul in 1971 and has lived and worked in Berlin and Seoul since the mid-1990s.

A retrospective recently took place at the Hayward Gallery in London (2024). Her exhibition \"Through\" will open at Dia Beacon in October 2026.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53135900246280,"sku":"9783775762625","price":23.53,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775762625_781f26c9-a0e7-4eee-a4db-9c96df10cda9.jpg?v=1779002364","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.com\/products\/9783775762625","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
