In her artistic practice Jeewi Lee works with site-specific installations, sculpture, serial paintings and interventions. She often uses simple, seemingly worthless materials and artefacts that carry traces of time, memory, and transience. These traces serve as a starting point for her artistic research, where scientific analysis of the material blends with aspects of Taoist philosophy and personal mythology to create a visual universe that is poetic and contemplative. At the Berlinische Galerie, the winner of the 2026 GASAG Art Prize will present a site-specific installation. The exhibition will be held in
conjunction with Berlin Art Week 2026.
