Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp / Collection Flemish Community (Inv. no. BK009588).
VIP's Union is one of Yang's formative works. Its premise lies in bringing together chairs and tables borrowed from numerous people who are considered 'important' within their own professional fields as well as being connected to the exhibition's city, in this case, Antwerp. These items, which have traveled from the various domestic or work spaces of their respective owners, form a temporary community in the gallery space, portraying the different stylistic expressions and social conditions of these individuals' lives, activities and their aspirations. Yang creates a space of collectives and engagements where the traditional distinction between functional design and the art object become obsolete, performed through the generosity of the lenders in agreeing to share their items.
