Borrowing the visual language of science, archaeology, and folklore, the works in Follow the Feather not only blur the line between evidence and invention but also claim space between the two. Behind the main exhibition space, you will find birdwatching guides, dictionaries, and expository books with pages describing Xian, granting these figures the authority of scientific taxonomy.

Cleary reimagines archives from an expedition – an imagined journey beneath “an immense slab” (a fictionalized location first introduced in his recently published book, The Complex Number Zero). Under the slab, lies a cave system seldom explored, where one may discover the tension between exploration and ownership, discovery and the unknowable.

The archives (revealing what was seen, as well as what was obscured) and artifacts (perhaps used by previous explorers) render a speculative archaeology where light and darkness dictate the boundaries of perception. Light reveals, discovery follows, records are made, and what is documented becomes claimed.

Reckoning on the myths and realities of the immigration experience, America Fever imagines scenes where the romance of the American West collides with the lived experiences of Korean American immigrants in the 1970s. Fantasies that drew Koreans across the Pacific – visions shaped by Hollywood Westerns, muscle cars, neon lights, and the promise of prosperity – are refracted through a distinctly Korean lens, where tradition is not only remnants of a past life but both the weight and reminder that carries forward into a new world.

Lee’s consideration of the subordinates is emphasized in Chaining, where she sculpts small metal rings that connect to create height. By magnifying and visualizing the smallest unit of structure, she reminds viewers that there is no dominant without the subordinate.
