Press Release

Discover Mire Lee’s awe-inspiring new installation for Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall.

Drawing inspiration from Tate Modern’s history as a power station, Mire Lee transforms the Turbine Hall with striking hanging sculptures and epic mechanical installations, reimagining the space as a living factory. A fascinating mix of materials such as silicone and chains bring her creations to life and challenge our ideas of what is beautiful, perverse, provocative and desirable. Open Wound invites us to revel in contradictory emotions: from awe and disgust to compassion, fear and love.
