overview

A site-specific exhibition by Jason S. Yi will be on view in the State Street Gallery and lobby of the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art from August 23 to November 9, 2014. Jason S. Yi: A Fragile Permanence draws on phenomenology, contemporary installation, and the art historical tradition of landscape painting. From the spiritual significance of East Asian mountain peaks to the rugged sublimity of the American West, Yi taps into cultural mythologies of landscape as a point of departure to address visual perception, physical experience, and cognitive uncertainty.
