Haegue Yang, VIP's Union 2001–2018

This book is printed on the occasion of Haegue Yang´s nine-month presentation of VIP´s Union at Kunsthaus Graz, which unfolded in two phases: furniture on loan by private individuals, widely used throughout the building (phase I), collected and presented in one of the exhibitions spaces by altering their status from (usable) furniture to exhibits (phase II). VIP´s Union at Kunsthaus Graz followed mutations of the project at Art Forum Berlin (2001), Arnolfini, Bristol (2011), M HKA – Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp, Belgium (2014), Bonner Kunstverein, Bonn (2014), Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art Seoul (2015). Genealogy, reference projects, texts by Nav Haq, Kathrin Bucher Trantow, Barbara Steiner, and an interview with Haegue Yang provide multiple views on the many years project.
