Jeewi Lee (korean 이지위; * 1987 in Seoul, Korea) is an artist from South Korea. She lives and works in Berlin and Seoul.[1]

Life and artistic development

[edit]

Jeewi Lee grew up in an artist family and spent her childhood in various locations in Germany and Korea. Frequent moves from the age of five had a profound effect on her, a theme that is evident in her art. Lee studied painting at the Berlin University of the Arts in the class of Prof. Robert Lucander and at Hunter College, City University of New York, graduating in 2014 as a Master of Fine Arts from the Berlin University of the Arts. In 2018 she received her MFA in the postgraduate programme Art in Context with Prof. Dr. Jörg Heiser at University of the Arts Berlin.[2] She has received numerous grants and scholarships, including the Villa Romana Florence Art Prize, the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen junger westen Art Prize[3], and several scholarships from the Stiftung Kunstfonds. Lee has participated in artist residencies at the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation in Senegal (2020) and the USA (2023). Her work has been shown in numerous galleries and institutions, including the 'Festival of Future Nows' at the Neue Nationalgalerie (2014), Museum Hamburger Bahnhof (2017), 'Wände/Wände' at Kunstmuseum Stuttgart (2020)[4] and 'Ruhr Ding: Climate" at Urban Künste Ruhr (2021)[5]. Other group exhibitions include 'Scratching the Surface' at the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum der Gegenwart in Berlin (2021)[6], 'Checkpoint: Border Views from Korea' at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg (2022)[7], 'Indigo Waves and Other Stories' at the Martin-Gropius-Bau (2023)[8] and 'Into the Woods - Klima Biennale Wien' at the Kunst Haus Wien (2024). In 2021, she co-founded the transcultural project collective "Dry Ocean" [9]with artists from Dakar and Berlin.
