Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, a Seoul-based collaborative that presents itself as a corporation, has produced more than 60 video works, innovative and in several languages but low-tech and noninteractive. Mostly black and white, they comprise rapidly flashing text accompanied by jazz, percussion, and string arrangements created by the artists. Subjects range from international politics to petty crime, urban isolation, poverty, and consumer culture. The group cites Marcel Duchamp as an influence. Continuing through Nov. 18, it's one of several exhibits at the University of Michigan Museum of Art, 525 S. State St., Ann Arbor. The collaborative's work can been seen at yhchang.com.
