The results are intense, immersive worlds of image, thought, and experience that are as imbued with a delicate poetry as they are with the desire to proclaim a social utopia. The Fridericianum presents Lee’s first solo exhibition in Germany—a walk-on synthesis of the arts.
Lee’s professional biography includes institutional exhibitions in Asia, Europe, and America. He represented Hong Kong at the 2013 Venice Biennale and presented his solo exhibitions at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis (2016), the S.M.A.K. – Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst in Ghent (2016), the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo (2018), West Den Haag in The Hague (2021), and at the Hong-gah Museum in Taipei (2023). Lee has also participated in group exhibitions such as Forms of the Shadow at the Secession in Vienna (2024), Carnivalesca – What painting might be at the Kunstverein Hamburg (2021), the 15th Lyon Biennale (2019), the Kathmandu Triennale (2017), The Great Ephemeral at the New Museum in New York (2015) and the Sharjah Biennial (2015).
