ARTOUT is proud to announce the appointment of artist and curator I-Wei Lee as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Born in Taiwan, I-Wei grew up in Canada. She graduated from Simon Fraser University with degree in business. For six years she worked as a banker in Africa, but later went to study art. In 2006 I-Wei graduated from Goldsmiths College .
In 2009, I-Wei moved to Berlin and established the SideBySide Studio. I-Wei positions herself as a ‘contexterin’ – someone whose goal is to generate a new context each time in each project. The artistic experience for her is an overall experience that queries all aspects of life.
As a curator, I-Wei seeks to highlight the approaches, viewpoints, and visions of contemporary artists.
As a producer, she animates events where intellectuals and artists are invited to share their critical reflections on current social issues.
As an artist, she commits herself to experimental and documentary films, multi-media installations, and interactive performances.
At ARTOUT, I-Wei will be responsible for developing the project alongside its original managing team. This new appointment reflects the continuous growth of the ARTOUT project, and opens a new and exciting page in the ARTOUT adventure.
