Childhood, 2009
Don't miss the opportunity to view JeeYoung Lee's artworks at the Art Gallery of Hamilton.
Three photographs from her Stage of Mind series are on display until January 7th alongside artworks by historical and contemporary artists who reflect and reimagine the body and the everyday in staging new and provocative worlds.
Entitled "Wonder", the curation questions the definition of ‘reality’ nowadays.
"What does it mean to be ‘real’? Is there even such a thing?
In an age of reality shows, fake news, and weakened social and political structures, our sense of reality is quickly shifting. Neither fixed nor factual, our individual realities can exist alongside one another’s and never meet.
This moment in time led to the idea of creating an exhibition around the idea of reality and sur-reality, or in art terms: Realism, Surrealism and the Fantastic. This exhibition explores the relationship between a logical view of life and the unconscious mind, fantasies, and the dream world."
