Seung-taek Lee in Venice

Sculptor, installation artist and performance artist Lee Seung-taek is one of Korea’s first generation pioneers of what is commonly called experimental art. With the focus on the notion of ‘anti-art,' Lee's most iconic pieces incorporate humble materials such as paper and rocks. After a showing at New York City's Lévy Gorvy Gallery, Lee’s exhibition has continued on to a large-scale solo display at the internationally acclaimed Venice Biennale from May 8th to June 28th while at the same time being showcased at Seoul's Gallery Hyundai. The approximately 50 pieces making up the current exhibit in Seoul include the iconic, tied stone sculptures created during the 50’s and 80’s along with installations, video works and photographs.
