The Language of Exposure: An In-Person Artist Talk with Timothy Hyunsoo Lee

Join interdisciplinary artist Timothy Hyunsoo Lee for an in-depth conversation about his exhibition Imprints, currently on view at the Griffin Museum. Lee will discuss how his cyanotype-based works reflect the complexities of migration, memory, and identity — blending personal narrative with broader cultural themes. Drawing on his background in science, craft, and queer theory, Lee’s practice explores image-making as a ritual of preservation and transformation. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from the artist about his process, influences, and the stories behind his evocative visual language.

Join us for a conversation at the museum in Winchester at 5pm on June 11, 2025.

Timothy Hyunsoo Lee is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores the relationship between rituals of (in)visibility, community and the abstracted, queer body. Born in Seoul, South Korea and raised in New York City, he received his B.A. in Neuroscience, Biology and Studio Art from Wesleyan University (Middletown, CT) and his MFA in computational arts from Goldsmiths, University of London (UK). Lee’s background in laboratory research and emerging technologies ushers in an empirical approach to investigating the materiality and precision in his practice, his interests in legacies of craft, representation, and labor, that is complemented with the existential urgency of growing up between cultures. Timothy’s works have been exhibited at venues such as the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Orlando Museum of Art, the Studio Museum, The Wallach Art Gallery of Columbia University, The YoungArts Foundation Gallery, Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid, and La Casa Encendida, with a public project with the MTA Arts & Design (New York). He is currently based between Boston and NYC and lectures at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology W20 Art Studios.
