STORIES FROM WITHIN

A Solo exhibition by Mindy Lee

Opening Night: 19 May 5 – 7pm

Exhibition Open: 20, 21, 27 + 28 May 2023 11 – 4pm

Art Space Portsmouth,  27 Brougham Road, Portsmouth, Hampshire, P05 4PA

It's Coming From Inside BH DULWICH FESTIVAL LOW RES 2023_INSTA POST

It’s Coming From Inside : External inscrutability, internal passion, domestic confines and dreams of escape…

Opening Night:  12 May, 6pm to 8pmExhibition open: 13/14 and 20/21 May, 11am to 6pm

Bell House, 27 College Rd, Dulwich, London SE21 7BG

Sarah Sparkes and Jane Millar have invited 20 artists to exhibit across two rooms, and a hallway, on opposing sides of Bell House: the McAndrew room, a scullery, tucked away off a long corridor lined with coat hooks, and the Lutyens’ room, a light-filled drawing room, close to the elegant front entrance.

In their thinking about the Impressionist Berthe Morisot, and the exhibitions broader theme of Windows and Thresholds, the curators see the two different domestic spaces, and the liminal corridors between them, as places expressive of dialogues in both Morisot’s and their invited artists’ works: of confines, dreams of escape, of external inscrutability and internal passion.

Wednesday 23 September 1-2pm

I will be speaking live with Anna McNay about my recent paintings.

In conversation with art writer and curator Anna McNay, Mindy Lee (MA painting, Royal College of Art, 2002-04) will discuss some of the recurrent themes of her work, including autobiography; the domestic routines and rituals of motherhood; responsive parenting informing responsive painting; cloth as a precious keepsake and second skin, holding memories of our past selves; the viscerality of the body; shifting identities, transient moments and tipping points, as we come together and pull apart through love and loss; cycles of repetitive behaviour, moving from daily interactions to cross-generational roles; and death, bereavement and recollection.

This online talk is supported by the Blyth Music and Art Centre at Imperial College.

Reception and catalogue launch: Friday 29 June, 6 – 8.30pm

The body is often described in art in terms of its objecthood, but as a cultural site linking many disciplines and branches of thought it might be imagined as protean territory that is never ‘done’ and cannot be mapped in a singular fashion. In the connective tissue between the humanities and the sciences are innumerable individual human stories, feeding different forms of study and, down the line, re-informing collective experience. It’s the gristly interstices between the knowledge of what we are (complex biological machines, thinkers, workers, creators, friends, lovers, baby makers) and the experiences that shape who we are, which appear of particular interest to Sarah Gillham, Mindy Lee, Susan Sluglett and Paul Westcombe.” Rebecca Geldard

Opening 20. April 2018 at  19 o’clock

Duration of the exhibition 21. – 29. April 2018

The exhibition Rumpy Bees & Pumpy Blooms focuses on sexuality and gender. Generations and locations shape images of sexuality. Sexuality as the essence of human life, points far beyond the private sphere. Sexuality impacts both on our personal lives and politics. Each and every one of us needs a position in regard to questions of gender, sexual identity, order, censorship, freedom and power, and to renegotiate these positions over the course of our lives.

Art allows us to portray realities of life and subjective practices, to give space to fantasies and to bring them into reality. The works presented in the group exhibition combine different ideas of sexual meaning into a field of new emotional, political and historical angles.

MINDY LEE & J.A.L.-B.

Lee’s series of double-sided paintings, made for this exhibition, are created on clothing once worn by the artist and her son. Discarded clothes are rendered functionless through unpicking and re-assembling and contain a memory and history of the bodies’ activity within them, through ageing, stretching, staining and daily wear and tear.  The body is further traced through the play-paint games, which capture J.A.L.-B.’s external bodily prints and gestures. His gestures are fetishized, reclaimed, mimicked and cut into, blurring the boundaries between his touch and Lee’s. J.A.L.-B.’s marks transform and inform Lee’s imagery, which recaptures intimate moments of daily domestic life. Lee also references bones across the series. They appear as x-ray, pattern, costume, prop and toy, bringing a hammer horror humour into play and creating a place between autobiography and mythology.

* J.A.L.-B. is Mindy Lee’s 3 yr old son.

October 2017

I will be taking part in PEER FORUM at Camden Arts Centre:

The 2017 PEER FORUM opportunity at Camden Arts Centre was awarded to lead artist Alicia Tsigarides who will be running a peer mentoring group with Leah Carless, Katharine Fry, Rebecca Jagoe, Olivia Brazier, Annie Attridge, Lindsey Mendick, Alicia Reyes McNamara, Holly Hendry, Mindy Lee and Tenant of Culture

This peer mentoring group established by Alicia Tsigarides brings together a group of women artists to examine the representation of femininity. They will identify how the body emerges in humorous, erotic or grotesque ways within their practices. Their contrasting approaches range from the Kitsch and provocative to the intimate and opulent. Some traverse gently between these extremes. Discussion will explore the boundaries between the sexual and the romantic, the tasteful and the vulgar. The role of the artist’s biography, including the influence of cultural backgrounds, life experiences and popular culture, will be considered. Exploring how the female body is presented throughout art history, they will identify established feminist arguments and current strategies used to define or disrupt ideas of gender. Examining the relationship between gender and materials, the group will discuss the importance of materiality and process in their work. The primary aim is to expand these ideas, whilst giving feedback on each other’s work. Bringing together these playful yet critical practices generates a conversation that feels relevant and needed in the current climate.

In Infancy reveals the beginnings of two autobiographical projects initiated by artists Sarah Gillham and Mindy Lee shortly before and since the birth of their sons. This work in progress shows an evolving narrative growing out of intimate moments of daily domestic life. These private moments submerged within infancy disconnect from a sentimental nostalgia to transform routine, ritual and fetishisation into a mythology of the bodies’ inner and outer states. These bodies of work also echo and mirror the interconnectedness of life and death.

Aleksandra Frankowska, Rodney Dee, Mindy Lee, Line Krom, Max Pauer, Niloufar Shiriani, Krzysztof Ślaziński, Susan Sluglett and Mamadou Touré aka Béhan

Opening Friday 11 September 2015.

Running from Sat 12 September – Sun 27 September

Galeria OFF Piotrwska proudly presents the upcoming group show “Once in Blue Moon”. Aleksandra Frankowska, Rodney Dee, Mindy Lee, Line Krom, Max Pauer, Niloufar Shiriani, Krzysztof Ślaziński, Susan Sluglett and Mamadou Touré aka Béhan – a selection of nine artists from Great Britain, Germany, Iran, Poland and Senegal revel in the colour Blue.

Blue appears to be the world’s most popular colour according to surveys. Blue is associated with trust, serenity and union. In art and popular culture many examples immediately spring to mind such as: Picasso’s “blue period”, Yves Klein’s blue monochromes and multinational blue branding used by Facebook, IKEA and Nivea etc.

Aleksandra Frankowska, Rodney Dee, Mindy Lee, Line Krom, Max Pauer, Niloufar Shiriani, Krzysztof Ślaziński, Susan Sluglett and Mamadou Touré aka Béhan explore the colours sumptuous elegance in technical, metaphorical and sensual ways, through illusionistic and physical dimensions. The exhibition will be a visual and physical feast, including edible, blue sculptures.

The title “Once in a Blue Moon” refers to an English saying meaning a rarely occurring event. A blue moon, a full moon occurring twice in a calendar month, only arises every 2,4 years. Picking up on the rare occasion as leitmotif the curators invite the public to submit blue coloured everyday objects building a bazar in all shades of blue. Both art works and everyday objects will be on display and for sale in the gallery.

The authors – whose diverse origins echo the multiple media used to convey their ideas – establish a link between bodily metamorphosis and psychological fissures. The body is a locus of paradoxes: deformed, infected, monstrosised or negated but at the same time fascinating, intimate or sensual. Here, readers will open the door of disruption. They will explore the flesh or the inner processes of the body, the idea of its degeneration, even its perception as a gaping wound. The authors in this volume question the very notion of identity as they embark on a journey to reflect on the self. Life itself is a shapeshifting dance we unknowingly join in its myriad of colours and moves.

In part two: ‘A Sensory Voyage of the Body’, the three chapters of ‘On Innards’ are:
a) ‘Reflection on Digestion: The Mouth’ by Amanda Couch;
b) ‘On Innards: Presentation of Artwork’ by Amanda Couch, Andrew Hladky and Mindy Lee;
c) ‘On Innards: A Three-Way Conversation’ by Amanda Couch, Andrew Hladky and Mindy Lee.

on innards

Blyth Gallery, 5th Floor Sherfield Building, Imperial College, Exhibition Road, London, SW7 2AZ.
8 October – 7 November 2014.

On Innards is a multidisciplinary project developed by artists Amanda Couch, Andrew Hladky and Mindy Lee, that explores the changing conceptualisations of guts and digestion, their impact on the creative process and the role they play in constructing and destabilising our sense of self.

The project will involve an exhibition at Blyth Gallery, Imperial College, from 8 October until 7 November 2014, with an opening reception on 7 October 2014 from 6 until 8.30pm. To accompany the exhibition there will be a daylong multidisciplinary event at Blyth Gallery and Kensington & Chelsea Central Library on 11 October 2014 from 10am until 5pm.
On Innards | Exhibition | 8 October – 7 November 2014

The exhibition at Blyth Gallery will consist of artwork by Hladky, Lee and Couch exploring intestines, entrails, and the digestive process as material, image, and metaphor. They will show paintings, objects and prints that move between representation and realism, making reference to Gaston Bachelard’s claim that digestion ‘is the origin of the strongest kind of realism’. Central to the work is the desire to avoid the flattening effects of representation and encourage more embodied ways for people to encounter artwork. We hope to remind our audience of their physical presence in relation to images and language, as well as showing the inner workings of the image and text.

Cutting across media, Amanda Couch’s work uses the processes and lived experience of her own body as material and metaphor to create images and objects that are both visceral and narrative. Andrew Hladky is interested in the inner bodily processes of his paintings, revealing the conflict between their surface illusion and the lumpen material that forms them. Mindy Lee’s plated paintings are served as a cannibalistic smorgasbord of revived images regurgitated from historical painting.
On Innards | Event | 11 October 2014

Accompanying the exhibition Lee, Couch and Hladky will lead a participatory and experiential day-long event exploring multi-disciplinary perspectives on digestion, innards and the interior body. It will bring together researchers and practitioners from the fields of gastroenterology, cultural theory, art history, yoga, performance and fine art and the medical humanities, and participants to share knowledge and experiences. The event is free and open to all.

Recent medical research re-imagines the digestive system as a sensory organ and second brain, the site of our most direct and complex physical exchange with the external world. It has a profound effect on our mood and ability to function, but its reasoning remains largely inaccessible to our awareness. The idea that our guts lurk behind the scenes exerting a decisive influence on our actions is an unsettling one, challenging modern cerebro-centred images of selfhood and agency. This event will highlight some of the ways different imaginings of the gut can clash with customary ways of viewing our bodies and ourselves.
On Innards / Event is free, open to all and on a first come, first serve basis. Tickets should be booked in advance via Eventbrite, http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/on-innards-event-tickets-12834078073
