Haegue Yang: Star-Crossed Rendezvous

A unique collaboration between MOCA and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, this presentation brings together the work of internationally acclaimed visual artist Haegue Yang (b. 1971, Seoul) and her interest in and engagement with the late composer Isang Yun (1917-1995).

The institutional collaboration unfolds over two distinct presentations: an exhibition featuring a sprawling installation Star-Crossed Rendezvous after Yun, 2024, on view at MOCA Grand Avenue from February 2 through August 2, 2026, for its U.S. debut; and a concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall for a special one evening performance of Yun’s Double Concerto, 1977, by the LA Philharmonic on March 10, 2026. This project bridges two distinguished cultural organizations and their unique architectural sites, connecting them through time and space, with this immersive sonic and visual experience.

Prior to this special joint presentation, Yang and MOCA will organize a day-long symposium Star-Crossed Rendezvous: The Musical Legacy of Isang Yun, gathering leading musicologists, composers and historians on November 22, 2025 at the Ahmanson Auditorium in MOCA Grand Avenue.

Haegue Yang: Star-Crossed Rendezvous is organized by Paula Kroll, Assistant Curator, with Clara Kim, Chief Curator & Director of Curatorial Affairs, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
