Faces was Mire Lee’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles. The exhibition at Sprüth Magers featured new sculptural works building upon the artist’s recent installations. The exhibition also includes two early video pieces and a new series of wall-based works. Combining industrial materials and variable substances, Lee creates forms evoking the bodily and psychic.

Mire Lee (*1988, Seoul) lives and works in Seoul and Amsterdam. In 2024, she presented a site-specific work at Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall as a Hyundai Commission artist, which marked the first major presentation of Lee’s work in the UK. Other solo exhibitions include New Museum, New York (2023), Zollamt – MMK, Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt am Main (2022) and Art Sonje Center, Seoul (2020). Recent group exhibitions include National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art – MMCA, Seoul (2024), Kraftwerk Berlin (2023), Busan Biennale, La Biennale di Venezia and 58th Carnegie International (all 2022) and Schinkel Pavillion, Berlin (2021). This fall, her work appears in the 12th SITE Santa Fe International, curated by Cecilia Alemani; Okayama Art Summit 2025, Okayama, Japan; and the group exhibition to ignite our skin at SculptureCenter, New York.
