Opening November 14 and running through December 18, the Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery will present “Abundance is Real”, a solo exhibition of new work by Aimee Lee. There will be a reception for the artist on Saturday, November 14, from 4 - 6 pm. This event is free and open to the public.

    Aimee Lee is an interdisciplinary artist interested in questions of identity, human relations, and personal realities created to survive the constructs of family and culture.  She creates work in paper, book, performance, sound, installation, and text arts.  She says: “I navigate inner and outer spaces, and chart how humans fill them with things: objects, sounds, relationships, emotions, and histories. I am interested in the boundaries between these spaces: emotional walls erected to prevent further damage, borders drawn between sites to discourage co-mingling, and barriers created by language to exclude some, while empowering others.”

    Aimee Lee received her BA in Visual Arts from Oberlin College and her MFA in Interdisciplinary Book and Paper Arts from Columbia College, Chicago. As a Fulbright fellow, her post-graduate research focused on traditional Korean hand papermaking and related craft forms. Her primary performance training was as a classical violinist, with later studies in jazz and improvisation. She has exhibited internationally, and under the Bionic Hearing Press imprint, her artists' books reside in numerous collections that include Museum of Modern Art Library, Oberlin College Clarence Ward Art Library Special Collections, and the University of Denver Penrose Library Special Collections. Her awards include residencies at Art Farm, Jentel, Ox-Bow, Ragdale, Vermont Studio Center, Weir Farm Arts Center, and the Interdisciplinary Residency in Art and Ecology in Guapamacataro, Mexico, and grants from Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, US Fulbright Program, Manhattan Graphics Center, and the Puffin Foundation.

    The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm, Saturday 12 – 4 pm, and all other times by appointment.  The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets, Lake George, NY.
