2023 is turning out to be the best year yet for ceramicist Jane Yang D’Haene…

Having been picked up by The Future Perfect last spring, the Korean-born, Brooklyn-based artist has quickly emerged as one of the platform’s most successful talents. After numerous showcases in the gallery’s West Village townhouse in New York, The Future Perfect mounted Yang D’Haene’s first solo show at its Los Angeles Goldwyn House earlier this summer. Occupying various rooms of the sprawling Hollywood Hills mansion, the “Remembrance” exhibition comprises over a dozen one-off works that demonstrate the latest feats in her ongoing exploration and translation of the ancient Moon jar typology.

Yang D’Haene’s recent success has also come from partnerships and projects developed in addition to this fruitful collaboration. A September 2022 group show at Galerie Kitsuné Brooklyn, in partnership with fresh-faced Los Angeles purveyor Stroll Garden, led to Yang D’Haene’s curatorial debut. Presented simultaneously with yet another solo show—this time at Hauser & Wirth’s Southampton outpost—”Where Land Meets Sea,” on view till September 4th, is a thematic showcase highlighting six young Korean artists exploring many of the same preoccupations that have come to define her practice thus far. Staged with Stroll Garden at the studio of late abstract expressionist Adolph Gottlieb in nearby East Hampton, the exhibition centers on the common thread of interpretation; finding different ways to treat the well entrenched heritage of Korean artistry through a contemporary lens. If that weren’t enough, there are showcases of her work in Paris and elsewhere planned for later this fall.

The highly sought after ceramicist only began foraying into the medium six or so years ago. She began her professional life climbing the ladder at a major architecture firm and designing corporate offices among other projects. As she shares with Interior Design, her story is proof that advantageous career shifts are possible at any stage of the game. Yang D’Haene also talks about her idiosyncratic process and the thinking behind the three format-defying collections she debuted with The Future Perfect in June.
