Yang (b.1971) works with everyday materials, often domestic ones, to create colourful installations that often combine industrial materials with sensory effects using light and scent. These movements will be staged at various times throughout the week long installation. Yang will also work with a number of performers to choreograph their own movements in the space, creating a relationship between the person and object as they ‘dance’ together. They are given titles like Bulky Lacoste Birdy and are inspired by Oskar Schlemmer’s seminal Triadisches Ballet (1922). The wheeled structures are formed from domestic clothes horses and blinds, animated with moving lights and sound.
