Lee
Mingwei has continually focused
on themes of trust and self-awareness in projects that create
a potential for active exchange. Intrigued by parallels
between art-making and prognostication, both of which draw
on observation and intuition to reveal possibilities. Lee
Mingwei creates projects that test the limits of when and
where such transformative experiences may take place, and
has sensitively framed aspects of everyday life into experiences
of potential discovery and renewal. Lee Mingwei was born
in Taiwan, currently lives and works in New York City and
Berkeley, California.
