Excellent- More about Mire Lee: Black Sun
Lees sculptural explorations of bodily function and environmental decay merge machinery and organism. This publication features Lee's recent architectural environments and kinetic sculptures, composed of materials like low-tech motors, pumping systems, steel rods, and PVC hoses. These sculptures operate like living organisms and biological machines, drawing references from architecture, horror, pornography, and cybernetics. Lee offers a visceral means to describe properties that exist between the technological and the corporeal, evoking states such as tenderness, desire, abjection, anxiety, and revulsion.

Lees sculptural explorations delve into the intricate interplay between machinery and organism, shedding light on the fascinating relationship between bodily function and environmental decay. Presented on the occasion of Mire Lees (born 1988) inaugural American solo museum exhibition, this comprehensive publication brings together Lees recent architectural environments and kinetic sculptures. Comprising a diverse range of materials, including low-tech motors, pumping systems, steel rods, and PVC hoses filled with grease, glycerin, silicone, slip, and oil, Lees animatronic sculptures seamlessly blend the characteristics of living organisms and biological machines. Drawing inspiration from architecture, horror, pornography, and cybernetics, Lees sculptures evoke a visceral response, capturing the essence of properties that exist at the intersection of technology and the corporeal realm. These include states such as tenderness, desire, abjection, anxiety, and revulsion, among others. Over the past year, Lee has garnered significant recognition with institutional solo exhibitions at MMK Frankfurt and Kunstmuseum Den Haag, Netherlands, as well as participation in major international exhibitions such as the 59th Venice Biennale, the 58th Carnegie International, and Busan Biennial 2022.
