Press Release

From May 24 to August 4, 2024, Art Sonje Center presents Yona Lee: An Arrangement for a Room in Seoul, a site-specific exhibition that connects the museum’s hanok structure, internal staircase, and rooftop garden. Yona Lee’s work erases vertical hierarchies and horizontal boundaries of space, blending together spatial hierarchies and structures. The exhibition uses stainless steel pipes to link urban movements and speeds perceived by the artist, layering them with her personal experiences. Lee’s creations become part of the cityscape, connecting various functional spaces in the building in a way that expands sensations for the visitor experiencing the setting.

About the Artist

Auckland-based artist Yona Lee is known for her site-responsive stainless-steel sculptures and installations that explore ideas of travel, migration, diaspora, and the distinction between public and private space.

About the Gallery

The Art Sonje Center, founded in 1998, is a private art museum which supports current and experimental contemporary art. Although it is rather a young organisation which just has celebrated its fifth year, its international quality exhibitions and educational programs have been receiving attention by those in the art field and the general public alike. With an open attitude and the spirit to experiment with exhibition methods, we show art from ‘here and now.’ For this, we actively search for the opportunity to collaborate with those in the fields of music, literature, architecture, dance and fashion. We also have the mandate to provide radical exhibition planning to support new projects.
