His solo  exhibition presented at Gropius Bau in Berlin, showcases his  installations and performances from the last three decades: central to  the exhibition is an exploration of art&#8217;s potential to be a  transformative gift. In Lee Mingwei&#8217;s works immaterial gifts such as  song, conversation or contemplation are given and received. For many of  his projects the starting point is his personal encounters, which are  then transformed into installations. Seeing such experiences as moments  in which time is gifted, Lee&#8217;s projects reveal a fascination for the  role of the host.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, in autumn 2019, the artist put out  open calls looking for Berlin-based hosts to participate in several of  his projects. In <em>The Living Room<\/em> hosts are invited to exhibit their unique collections and in <em>The Mending Project<\/em><br \/>\n the menders host conversations with visitors whilst repairing their  damaged items of clothing. These processes create a common space where  viewers are given the opportunity to enter into and exchange, and where  rituals of care and healing begin to unfold.<\/p>\n<p>Text in German.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Lee Mingwei&#8217;s works immaterial gifts such as song, conversation or contemplation are given and received, to be ultimately transformed into installations.
