Informed by scientific resea rch\, biology\, and perfumers\, Yi has produced a unique body of work over the past decade at the intersection of politics and macrobiotics. Her pra ctice questions the increasingly hazy taxonomic distinctions between what is human\, animal\, plant\, and machine\, and is the result of an alchemic al process of experimentation that explores often incompatible materials. She collaborates with researchers to create media that are often inherentl y political and delves into the cultural conditioning of sense and percept ion in a way she describes as “biopolitics of the senses."\n\nHer divers e installations\, which draw on scientific concepts and techniques to acti vate vivid fictional scenarios\, ask incisive questions about human psycho logy and the workings of society. Yi's work has been the subject of numero us solo exhibitions at institutions around the world\, including the Leeum Museum of Art\, Seoul\; Pirelli Hangar Bicocca\, Milan\; Tate Modern\, Lo ndon\; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York\; and the List Visual A rts Center\, MIT\, Cambridge\, Massachusetts\; among many others.\n\nRana Dasgupta is the author of “Solo” and “Capital: A Portrait of Delhi i n the Twenty-First Century.”  His latest book\, “After Nations: The M aking &\; Unmaking of a World Order” offers a global history of the n ation-state\, and a diagnosis of the large-scale transition engulfing the world today.  He is the recipient of the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize\, the Windham-Campbell Prize and the The Ryszard Kapuściński Award.  He l ives in France. \n\n\n\nACCESSIBILITY\nRestrooms\nThere are no restrooms immediately nearby the program location.
