The works of Mire Lee (*1988) oscillate between horror and arousal, treating violence as a central component of subjectivity. In often monstrous creations made of industrial materials such as cement, wood, silicone, oil and clay, Lee confronts the boundaries between the abject and the arousing.

Okayama Art Summit
September 26–November 26, 2025
The theme of this year’s Okayama Art Summit is The Parks of Aomame, inspired by Aomame, the mysterious character from Haruki Murakami’s novel 1Q84. As Artistic Director Philippe Parreno describes in his statement, a curated group of thirty individuals and groups from twelve countries and regions—including artists, musicians, architects, designers, scientists, writers, and thinkers—will use their unique methods of expression to create new forms, transforming Okayama’s public spaces into places where reality and imagination naturally merge. Sprüth Magers is delighted that Cyprien Gaillard and Mire Lee are amongst the participating artists.
