About Inorganic Mineral Art d'Installacion

Inspirat per de sentiments prigonds envers la natura e per son experiéncia coma arquitecte, Lee Chi se concentra sus la creacion d'installacions d'art botanic unicas. En reflectir sus la natura de l'art e en cercant de tecnicas creativas, Lee transforme d'eveniments de vida en òbras d'art formalizadas. Lo tèma d'aquesta seria d'òbras es d'investigar la natura dels materials e cossí los materials pòdon èsser reconstruits per lo sistèma estetic e una perspectiva novèla.

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.
