Speaker Series: Tim Lee

Tim Lee is an artist based in Vancouver. Lee characteristically makes artwork that fuses art history, humour, and pop culture to deal with ethnicity and cultural identity. Presenting himself as the central subject of his work, Lee produces quasi-documentary accounts of staged performances and role-playing actions that reference iconic moments in art and popular culture. Lee has exhibited internationally and is represented by Tracey Lawrence Gallery in Vancouver and Cohan and Leslie in New York. Later this year he will be exhibiting his work at the Musee d’art Contemporain de Montreal and the Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp in Belgium, as well as a solo exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London.
