Drawing inspiration from the futuristic vision of nineteenth- and twentieth-century utopian thinkers, Lee Bul’s works offer imaginative views on the development of site and place. In this session, following an introduction by M+ curator Pauline J. Yao, Lee Bul and architectural historian Cole Roskam discuss ideas of utopia and speculative architecture through the artist's maquettes, on view now in the exhibition 'Five Artists: Sites Encountered’, at M+ Pavilion through 20 October 2019.
