Lee Mingwei: Rituals of Care is Taiwanese American artist Lee Mingwei’s first survey exhibition in the US and features seven projects made between 1995 and 2024 that place visitors at the center of radical acts of generosity and care, asking how art can be a conduit for social connection and healing. Inspired by personal experiences of loss and resilience and major world events such as September 11 and the COVID-19 pandemic, artist Lee Mingwei (b. 1964) has, over the course of his career, created powerful participatory mixed-media installations and performances that transform ordinary gestures like writing, sweeping, mending, or breathing into rituals of engagement and solace.
Lee Mingwei: Rituals of Care
“Our grantees range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue. Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
