Christine Yerie Lee

Christine Yerie Lee is a Los Angeles-based interdisciplinary artist working in video, performance, drawing, and sculpture. Lee’s practice explores performativity and identity-formation, often using the body to articulate resistance to dominant power structures by generating imaginative narratives for the future. Drawing from Korean and American folklore, global histories, and pop culture, she builds interconnected worlds where fantasy and reality collide, creating a new place for cultural, psychological, and socio-political discovery. Lee received her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA from California Institute of the Arts. She has been selected for residences including Crosstown Arts and Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, and is the 2021 recipient of CAA's Visual Arts Fellowship. She has taught video art courses at California Institute of the Arts, California State University, Long Beach, and Pomona College. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.
