Artist Statement/ Biography

Andrew Yong Hoon Lee works in the moving image, sound, drawing and sculpture and examines sensory perceptions through the use of language, experience and space. His practice explores themes that range from the relationship between sounds and meaning in language, the phenomenologies of the diasporic and how memory and migration perform new imaginaries. Materially, Lee uses the lexicon of sound as it relates to other fields of knowledge. Musicality can be attributed to a drawing and a sound installation can become a space to explore the phenomenological qualities of different modalities. Through harmony and the dissonance of intertextual and intermedia strategies Andrew investigates the social, the political and subjectivity in his work.
