“SHARON” 

“The brain, as an object, has been elevated to the pinnacle of investigation and production in science and art, respectively.
An aura of omnipotent explanatory momentum seems to be surrounding this organ fostering its solid status as THE object of awwq at the center of attention in science, society and the arts – the last frontier and the final code to crack.

Starting from a confrontational premise, artist and scientist soon overthrew the limiting dichotomies and embraced a systemic perspective of the embedded organ fusing a range of views from the traditional Yellow Emperor’s philosophy to modern neuroscientific insights of the bi-directional brain-gut axis.
the brain-object is examined from different angles probing its real works, status and potency.

The object cult is revised while the culture producing brain-object is contemplating itself through self-reflection: brain signals are derived, relayed, mapped to the senses – experiences are petrified, quests documented and epistemic moments sparked”.

YUTIE LEE

A sense of the enchanting absurdity of human nature runs throughout Yutie Lee’s practice. Whether it takes the form of delighting in the apparent incommensurability of cultural rituals or mirth at the various levels of miscommunication engendered in cosmopolitan exchanges, Lee’s combination of tightly-scripted and open-ended elements within all her works evokes a form of modern-day commedia dell’arte.
