Author: Lee, Mire
Published on the occasion of Mire Lee's first American solo museum exhibition, this publication brings together Lee's recent works. Composed of materials including low-tech motors, pumping systems, steel rods and PVC hoses filled with grease, slip and oil, Lee’s animatronic sculptures operate both like living organisms and biological machines. In the past year, Lee has participated in major international exhibitions including the Venice Biennale, the Carnegie International, and Busan Biennial.Drawing references from architecture, horror, pornography and cybernetics, and evoking bodily functions and environmental decay, Lee offers a visceral means to describe properties that exist between the realms of the technological and the corporeal: tenderness, desire, abjection, anxiety and revulsion, among other states.
ISBN 9780915557295. New Museum. pb. 172 pages. 102 colour, 72 b/w ills. 24.8 x 18.4 cm.
