On view at Art@Bainbridge, Threading Memories / MiKyoung Lee displays Lee’s ethereal sculptures and two-dimensional work. Lee’s art explores memories the making, the cataloging, and the reconsidering through the repetitive knotting of mass-produced objects such as pipe cleaners, twist ties, and zip ties. Join us in person at Art on Hulfish, 11 Hulfish Street, or register for the livestreamed event.
Join the artist MiKyoung Lee as she leads an art-making workshop, in conjunction with her solo exhibition Threading Memories / MiKyoung Lee on view at Art@Bainbridge.

By using familiar and everyday objects, participants will experience how to create art that is both personally expressive and materially linked to our wider consumer, mass-produced world. All materials will be provided. Space is limited and registration is required. See website for more information and to register.
Within the wide and diverse landscape of contemporary art, many Korean artists reference the past in their practice. Join Eleanor Soo-ah Hyun, Associate Curator of Korean Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as she considers how the art-making modes of MiKyoung Lee engage in historical dialogue. Introduced by Dora C. Y. Ching, Deputy Director, Tang Center for East Asian Art. Reception to follow. This event is cosponsored by the Princeton University Art Museum and the Tang Center for East Asian Art. This lecture is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Threading Memories / MiKyoung Lee at Art@Bainbridge. Using common, mass-produced products such as pipe cleaners, zip ties, and twist ties, the artist MiKyoung Lee creates dynamic large-scale sculptures and intimate wall-mounted works. Lee’s art explores memories from her childhood and from later chapters of her life, evocatively commenting on our collective human mode of processing, cataloging, and revisiting the past.
