Invisible Questions that Fill the Air: James Lee Byars And Seung-taek Lee
Meeting of the Minds: James Lee Byars and Seung-taek Lee’s Art Convene for an Introspective Exhibition in Venice
Can two artists born in the same year, worlds apart, and never having met make work that is eerily similar to each other? That’s the premise behind one of the more thoughtful and introspective shows on view during this year’s Venice Biennale. The two artists in question are James Lee Byars and Seung-taek Lee, both born in 1932, in Detroit and in Kowon (present-day North Korea), respectively. Their parallel interests extend from the material and the immaterial, the performative, the literary, the celestial and the lunar, the wind and breath. More than anything, they are both artists whose work has never fit into neat categories or movements but with practices that prized themselves on being open ended.
