exhibition · 2026-09-04

Mira M. Yang's artistic endeavors delve into themes of cultural exchange, memory, and identity from a diasporic viewpoint, frequently utilizing staged and performative components. Her work focuses on the transmission of signals, energies, and emotions, with performers serving as transceivers. In her latest exhibition, 'Ensemble,' which unfolds in two segments at Kunsthalle Friart Fribourg and Fondation Pernod Ricard in Paris, Yang has introduced animated sculptures crafted from machine components to represent the absence of human figures. This exhibition features new sound compositions and a film, presented in various formats, while also addressing the risks associated with disruption or noise in communication. The dual presentation enables diverse spatial and contextual readings of her art.
