Susan Lee-Chun Collection
Lee-Chun, Susan
Susan Lee-Chun is a Korean-American visual artist who has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, at the Pacific Asia Museum, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, Museo de Arte de El Salvador, Asian Film Festival Berline, Pérez Art Museum Miami, and others. She was born in Seoul, grew up in Chicago, and earned a Master’s degree from the Art Institute of Chicago. She has lived and worked in Miami for the past 14 years. In her current exhibition, It’s a Pleasure (Not) to Meet You, at David Castillo Gallery in Miami, Lee-Chun places objects in vitrines—a 2-foot wide hoop earring decorated with curvy letters spelling out “La Chinita,” a giant 4-finger ring with the word “Gibberish” written in Chinese takeout font, Bruce Lee soap figurines, and others, calling attention to culturally ingrained stereotypes.
Susan Lee-Chun's collection includes documentation of the vast archive of found objects, materials, and artifacts that have informed and framed the artist's multidisciplinary practice.
