Adrienne Lee (b. 1998) is a Korean-American artist based in New York City. The squareness of her paintings is a reference to the square coverslips used on microscopes in a neuroscience lab, which was integral to her degree in neuroscience. Her academic pursuit of memory studies followed her reflections on her upbringing. As the daughter of a diplomat, she moved countries every two to three years, during which the term “identity” only evolved elusively. What matters most is now and where. Lee sets the stage for a purposeful engagement between the artwork and its site of installation. Two of her former works in plasma-cut steel address memory loss and are currently on view at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke – National Institutes of Health, U.S. Lee’s new paintings continue to preserve one’s connection to a place. Lee started her own series of a site-specific installation model entitled <You and I>. The first of the series, <You and I (Assisi)>, took place at a fourteenth-century oratory in the UNESCO heritage site, Assisi, Italy, in May 2026.
