Jeewi Lee: Residual Memories (GASAG Art Prize 2026)
The Berlinische Galerie presents Jeewi Lee’s first institutional solo exhibition in Berlin in conjunction with the GASAG Art Prize 2026. For her serial paintings, sculptures, site-specific installations and interventions, the artist draws on simple, seemingly worthless materials in which traces of time and transience are inscribed as memories. These traces are the starting point for her artistic research, in which materials analysis blends with aspects of Taoist philosophy and personal mythology to create a poetic, meditative visual universe. Under the title Residual Memories, the recipient of the GASAG award works with sand – an apparently everyday material and yet one of global significance. Sand fuses minerals, rock, organic residues and, more recently, microplastics. It is found in concrete, glass, microchips and water filters and forms the basis of our contemporary built environment, yet its worldwide consumption as a resource has left it in increasingly short supply.
