Kal Lee: Dust Beneath Snow
@ The Center for Mad Culture
410 S Michigan Ave, Suite 419, Chicago, IL 60605
Opening Friday, March 8th, from 5PM - 9PM
On view through Tuesday, April 30th
This work by Kal addresses errors and oddities within one’s perceptions of the world. These perceptions come from a neglectful relationship with the artist’s parents, a transitory relationship to both Korean and Chinese culture, and finding their own identity among states of confusion and stress. They find themselves compelled to attempt to arrange everything into a rigid formula that nests in a system, one that can be understood, if only to themselves. Disability has placed them in repeated attempts to comprehend, causing further distortions. Their artwork addresses these errors, highlighting undefinable dissociative feelings and allowing space to be confused. Displaced objects, as seen in Kal’s artwork, offer us our own chance to feel disconnected, but simultaneously struggle to find continuity and purpose.
