La Galerie is delighted to present Stage of Mind with JeeYoung LEE, our newly represented artist, one of the most up-and-rising figureheads of the younger Korean artistic world. JeeYong LEE is turning La Galerie’s art space into her ethereal dreamscape with her installation constructed in real life. A collection from the Stage of Mind series will be exhibited.

“ When I exhibit an on-site installation, I think I invite the audience directly to my inner world through the installation.
Also, my installation is space-specific, and therefore it is highly influenced by the location. For example, even if it is the same work, the structure, scale, and design of the installation will be different depending on the characteristics of each location. This also means that once an installation is exhibited in a specific site, it is unique as it is. I draw a rough sketch and spend time deciding on the details. I test different materials to recreate what I envisioned and design the props and narrow down on the color scheme, etc. In my studio, there is a wooden stage that is adjustable in terms of size. The walls can be adjusted to make the set smaller or larger depending on the project. Once the set is fixed, I start building the elements from scratch. I paint the walls, make the objects, and place them where they are needed. ”
