Haegue Yang: Lost Lands and Sunken Fields

February 1, 2025 - April 27, 2025

Over the past three decades, Haegue Yang (b. Seoul, 1971) has developed a prolific and hybrid body of work that reconciles and juxtaposes folk traditions with the canon of modern and contemporary sculpture-making. Informed by in-depth exploration into vernacular techniques and related customs and rituals, and her continual movement through and within disparate cultures, Yang’s work is both homage to multiple modernities and critique of the singular Western modernist project.

Otobong Nkanga

April 5, 2025 - August 17, 2025

The work of Otobong Nkanga (b. 1974) reconsiders our relationship with the land and the materials extracted from it, engaging a dynamic and deeply considered range of materials within an equally diverse practice. Among the many notable and celebrated aspects of her work is her tendency to adapt artworks and projects each time they are exhibited or performed in a new location, allowing the concept to anchor itself to the local ecosystem, resources, and complex histories of that particular place. At the Nasher, Nkanga will continue this thread, presenting newly conceived iterations of major recurring projects, including Carved to Flow (2017-), along with a new work, each responding to the North Texas region.
