Lee Bul

26 November 2004 - 27 February 2005

Based in Seoul, Lee Bul is a leading figure within a new generation of contemporary Korean artists. Bul’s practice embraces sculpture, performance, video and interactive media. She began her career in the late 1980s and came to international prominence a decade later for her high-tech sculptures based around mythical monsters and futuristic cyborgs.

This exhibition, the first solo Australian exhibition of Bul’s work, presents key sculptural and video works from the 1990s to the present day, including her monster and cyborg sculptures. A suite of ornamental, contextual cyborg drawings by the artist will also be presented, revealing a more private aspect of her practice to date.

Concerned with the human body, gender and technology, Bul creates a world in which flesh and steel collide; and in which the ordinary limitations of the human body are exceeded. The mediation of everyday life through technology is also a recurrent theme in Bul’s karaoke works.
