🖼️ Curatorial Statement

​

The works presented to the viewer in Lines of incidences (2024) address the virtual-digital-physical dilemmas of imagery, and critique the origin of the artworks such as, when do common utilitarian items became elevated to the status of art? The catalogue for the show references Hito Steyerl's essay In Defence of the Poor Image in 2009, where she states the postmodern problem of subsequent computer image-files being weaker; but the files are immortalised in the Lines of incidences publication, and the images are screenshots; presented as such. 

​

Lee has started embracing digital curating as opposed to traditional forms of independent curating. Fragments that Persist (2024) was a webpage that addressed Edmund Husserl's idea of a shared reality (intersubjectivity) but within the context of the internet. The webpage explored the spaces between web design, curation, and digital art. 

​

Other curated works include Molecular Structures (2015), On Sight, Off Sight (2023).​
