Meet the Artist: Jin Lee

  • Location: ISM Lockport Gallery, Lockport
  • Date: Sunday, November 02, 2008, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

ISM Lockport Gallery offers a variety of free public events that explore ideas and themes related to the exhibition. Come and meet one of the aritsts from our exhibition The Grammar of Landscape: Photographic Visions of Illinois.

For over a decade, the focus of photographer Jin Lee's work has been to document and explore her relationship with the natural landscape of Illinois. Born in Korea, Lee immigrated to the United States with her family at a young age and has resided in Chicago for over 20 years. Lee's interest in and access to the landscape of central Illinois comes from her two-hour commute to Normal where she teaches at Illinois State University. For her "Prairie" series, featured in the exhibition The Grammar of Landscape, Lee shoots from almost ground level and closes in on tight groupings of native flowers, grasses and vegetation.

The Sunday Meet the Artist event is part of and continues in the tradition of the First Sunday Series. Each event is held at 2:00 pm on the first Sunday of the month (except January) during the run of the exhibition The Grammar of Landscape. These popular Sunday programs last a little over an hour and limited seating is provided. There is no admission charge and reservations are not required.
