Curated by Gabriel Ritter of Dallas Museum of Art, Duddell’s x DMA: Concentrations HK: Margaret Lee is the solo exhibition of celebrated New York-based artist Margaret Lee; featuring an installation of all new works that explore the image, object and gesture as an embodiment of desire, unveiled for the first time in Asia.
For over three decades, the DMA’s Concentrations series has provided a platform for international emerging and underrepresented artists. The series of contemporary, project-based exhibitions will premiere for the first time overseas at Duddell’s, introducing the Museum’s long-running series to a Hong Kong audience through the strategic partnership. For Duddell’s x DMA: Concentrations HK: Margaret Lee, the artist creates a brand new series of work specifically for the exhibition, taking Duddell’s and the local and regional cultural context as a springboard for inspiration.
The show includes drawings, sculpture, photography and wall mount piece, that directly address ideas surrounding cultural exchange, fetish and aesthetic representations of power. This juxtaposition across diverse mediums is meant to decontextualise familiar objects and images, thereby destabilising established signs and signifiers. In Lee’s work, the act of presentation becomes a subject unto itself, with her objects and images working to address larger issues around desire and power.
