The Design

About Inorganic Mineral Installatiekunst

Geïnspireerd door diepe gevoelens voor de natuur en ervaring als architect, richt Lee Chi zich op het creëren van unieke botanische kunstinstallaties. Door na te denken over de aard van kunst en onderzoek te doen naar creatieve technieken, transformeert Lee levensgebeurtenissen in geformaliseerde kunstwerken. Het thema van deze serie werken is om de aard van materialen te onderzoeken en hoe materialen kunnen worden gereconstrueerd door het esthetische systeem en een nieuw perspectief. Lee gelooft ook dat de herdefiniëring en reconstructie van planten en andere kunstmatige materialen het natuurlijke landschap een emotionele impact kan hebben op mensen.

Design Challenge
The most challenging part of this research is to deconstruct the landscape and texture in Taiwan's cities and then from which let the artworks demonstrate the spiritual images of the environment and the connection between different material compositions. The series of works looks for permanent installations in space that link those images while signifying the necessary contingency measures for particular places with different environmental conditions.
Research
This series of works explores the way to make the non-recyclables produced non-unidirectional value under the economic system. It carries out experiments on its development potentials and various techniques of the manufacturing process based on the nature of materials. Therefore, the inorganic waste can be recycled and remade as mixed media for artworks.
Inspiration
Inorganic substances, as recognizable compounds, have become the primary environmental condition for people in cities to rely on. Based on Taiwan's history, it is understandable to see a delicate balance between the social class and quality in cities. However, Lee Chi believes that the actual outline of environments would only emerge if we exclude the knowledge we get from all cultures and civilizations, he sheds light on the relationship between his artworks and space where they settle.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2019 in Taipei and finished in March 2019 in Taipei.
Artwork was exhibited in Botaniplan Von Lee Chi studio during May 23 to June 6, 2019. And also artwork gallery BOUNTIFUL JOURNEY in Taipei during September 23 to 28, 2019.
Operation Flow
