Invited long distance artist Aimee Lee has been
interviewed by Brian Sherwin for
Myartspace, where she announces her participation on i d e n
t i d a d e s:
 The
other major project I am working on is La Invasión de las
hojas, an outdoor installation that will be presented in
Mexico this fall. I have been invited to be a long-distance
artist for identidades.04, a residency that brings art to
public spaces for audiences that are usually not exposed to
international contemporary artists. This year's theme is
memory as it relates to identity. While traveling to make
paper from local plants, I learned about invasive species
and considered that botanical concept as it relates to how
immigrants are viewed in their adopted countries.
As an American-born woman of Korean
heritage, I have strong memories of growing up as the other,
and am developing text about these experiences. I will
transfer these stories to handmade paper leaves that will be
affixed to eucalyptus plants (a major invasive species in
Mexico) in the city of Morelia, which is the site of
identidades.04. They will hang alongside real leaves and be
available for the public to read, take, or move to other
plants or sites, setting the leaves and stories on another
migration.
identidades.04,
with identity and memory theme, will happen from
September 20th to October 9th 2008.
i
d e n t i d a d e s
is the flagship program of
5célula,
aimed at increasing the presence of contemporary Art in our
communities.
The theme to explore is Memory
related to identity, the aim is to share this exploration with
the people of the city, right there in the neighborhood, in the
streets, and make a unique piece of contemporaneous collective
art.
This year we are
looking for artists and projects able to trigger on common
people in their neighborhoods a new vision of the possible
worlds born from their own realities, to create and find magical
instants and critical reflections, to be the worn paradigm
breakers, to be seed, mirror, game. To look altogether -artists
and public- at urban space with a new engagement that
brings creative wellness , memory, joy and hope. And, for
artists, to provoke themselves to jump higher.
This time we will have 3
European and 3 Latinamerican artists; 3 peripherial long
distance projects, and 3 michoacan artists selected by a call.
Plus a nomad.
