  A Conversation between Monet and Sochi: Video Art by Lee-nam Lee
April 14 - August 18, 2012

In the work A Conversation between Monet and Sochi, Lee-nam Lee projects the images of a classic painting from the Western tradition by Claude Monet (1840-1926) and an ink painting from the Eastern tradition by Korean artist Sochi (1803-1893). As the projected images change and interact, the artist brings the paintings to life.
