MAEP Opening: Sieng Lee
March 21, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Join us for the opening of “Sieng Lee: Siv Yiv and his Wooden Horses.” Sieng Lee collaborated with Wa Leng Lee, a renowned shaman, and his community to create an installation that reflects a modern-day retelling of Siv Yiv, the first Hmong shaman. At the crux of his exhibition, Lee asks what people give up in order to assimilate into American culture.
Lee holds a BS from Herzing University, Madison, and an MFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. He is a recipient of the 2015 Jerome Foundation Fellowship for Emerging Artists, Minnesota States Arts Board. He was the lead exhibit designer of “We Are Hmong Minnesota,” at the Minnesota History Center, St. Paul.
This exhibition is part of the Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program, now located in U.S. Bank Gallery.
