Yein Lee is a South Korean artist who currently lives and works in Vienna, where she teaches at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. After receiving a B.F.A. in Traditional Asian Painting from Hongik University, Lee earned an M.A. from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. 

Lee’s practice revolves around a system of becoming, an ever-shifting process of redefinition in which form, self, and structure are in constant negotiation. Her installations, sculptures, and performances highlight temporality through their impermanence, creating a space for vulnerability and critical reflection. 

She has recently participated in group exhibitions at the 15th Gwangju Biennale, Centre d’Art La Meute, Le Château-Centre d’Art Contemporain et du Patrimoine d’Aubenas, Centre Culturel Suisse (Paris), Belvedere 21, and Kunstraum Niederösterreich, among others.
