coming soon: Berlin HYE YOUNG SIN – The Measure of Not Yet
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
liebe Freunde der Galerie Irrgang,
hiermit laden wir Sie und Ihre Begleitung ganz herzlich am 18. Juli 2025 um 18 Uhr zur Eröffnung der Ausstellung „The Measure of Not Yet“ von Hye Young Sin in unsere Berliner Räumlichkeiten, Friedrichstraße 232 ein.
Mit herzlichen Grüßen
Ihr Tobias Wachter
Opening: Friday, 18 July, 18:00 — Performance at 19:00
In The Measure of Not Yet, Hye Young Sin cultivates a space of latency: potential, delay, and becoming. Drawing on agricultural instruments, planting methods, and the poetics of cultivation, her works move between utility and abstraction—where tools become gestures, surfaces suggest soil, and making becomes a form of listening to what is not yet.
Featuring sculptural assemblages of hand cultivators, seed spacers, and wooden panels, the exhibition evokes both the promise and the control embedded in systems of cultivation. Grids, lines, and curves emerge as cues—to grow, to obey, or to wait. Through this constellation, Sin invites reflection on how value, progress, and belonging are measured—and how we might linger in the interval before the measure is taken.
On the opening day, Sin performs with Plastic Garden – Trellis in the role of a garden director. During the performance, trellis structures are transformed into string instruments or generate feedback sounds through their interaction. The installation explores artificiality and ecological concerns by reimagining growth, where plants thrive not through water, but through sound.
