Description
Born in Taiwan and currently living in New York City, Lee Mingwei creates both participatory installations, where strangers can explore issues of trust, intimacy, and self-awareness on their own and through one-on-one events, where visitors explore these issues with the artist himself through eating, sleeping, walking, and conversing.
Mingwei’s projects are often open-ended scenarios for everyday interaction that take on different forms depending on the participants. Time is central to this process, as Mingwei’s installations often change during the course of an exhibition.
Mingwei’s exhibitions have been displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, Brooklyn Museum in New York, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei, and Queensland Gallery of Modern Art in Australia. He has also been featured at biennials in Venice, Lyon, Liverpool, Taipei, and Washington, DC, as well as in the Asia Pacific Triennial of contemporary art.
His talk and residency are funded by the Mixed Media Lecture Series with support from the MFA in Curatorial Practice.
