Susie Lee

Susie Lee’s work bridges the gap between technology driven, time-based media with intimate human experience. Shortly after completing her MFA, Lee was recognized by Seattle Weekly as the “2006 Emerging Artist of the Year” for the “intelligence, emotion and sensuality” of her new media works. Following her first solo exhibition at Lawrimore Project in 2007, Lee was named “An Artist to Watch” by the national publication Artnews. Lee's work has been exhibited widely, from Miami to Los Angeles, at the Denver Art Museum, Denver, and Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, and internationally in Italy (Galleria Tiziana Di Caro, Salerno; and Artefiere Bologna, Bologna), and at Gallery Hyundai, Seoul, Korea. She was the winner of the 2010 Stranger Visual Art Genius Award.

In 2011, as a recipient of the Northwest Contemporary Art Awards, her work was recently featured at the Portland Art Museum. The Susie Lee ensemble premiered a full-length piece in September 2011. Her first museum solo exhibition, "Of Breath and Rain" will be presented at the Frye Art Museum in February, 2012. Lee is represented by Lawrimore Project, Seattle; Myers Contemporary, Baltimore; and Galleria Tiziana Di Caro, Salerno.
