Mire Lee's Hyundai Commission at Tate Modern Turbine Hall opens October 9

Mire Lee, an artist originally from Seoul and currently residing in Berlin and Amsterdam, will unveil a new installation in Tate Modern's Turbine Hall from October 9 through March 16. This project is part of the Hyundai Commission and follows her recent showcase at Sprüth Magers in Berlin. Lee's art features motors, tubes, and thick liquids, drawing connections to the human form through unsettling shapes, such as Untitled (burlap body piece with many holes) Concrete version (2024). She studied at Seoul National University and took part in a Rijksakademie residency in 2018, where she utilized Arduino programming for erratic movements. Her works have been displayed at both the 2022 Busan Biennale and the Venice Biennale. For the Tate commission, she intends to craft a large yet delicate piece that stirs feelings of melancholy and engages various senses.
