LOS ANGELES, CA – Wönzimer is proud to announce a new solo exhibition by artist Tae Lee, navigating between the illusory duality of the material and immaterial realm.  .

This collection came into being as a process of the integration of mystic visions of a nondual reality into the perceived phenomena of a waking life. Lee offers a space for ontological contemplation on the classic existential challenges of sentient awareness within the future of supposed singularity.

Through his body of work, Lee investigates the apocalyptic tone of the day to day, each slice of life carrying the weight of the surreal ultraviolence of empire. Yet, despite the darkness, Lee beckons the viewer to transmute the chaos of the frontier into a path for self-actualization, not by denial, but by unification.

The paintings explore the eschatological tension between the internal and external versions of cataclysms, depicting the vital aliveness found in surrendering into both the death of the ego and the death of the world.

Wonzimer Gallery is proud to present “DegreeZero: Utopia/Dystopia in Contemporary Art”, a 13-artist group exhibition organized by artist-curators Lawrence Gipe and Constance Mallinson.

The work presented in DegreeZero exists in the grey area between the oppositional, yet strangely fungible, states of Utopia and Dystopia; this is not an academic exercise, as it this theme might bring to mind the state of contemporary societies caught in, for example, a precarious balance between the ideals of democracy and totalitarianism.

“Traditional views of Utopianism allow us to project ideal, humanitarian societies by imagining what might be but does not yet exist”, writes Mallinson from her essay for DegreeZero. “Without utopian idealism, one risks succumbing to Utopia’s co-equal sibling: Dystopia, loosely defined as the retreat/decline of progress and the prevalence of societies based totally on self-interest and the breakdown of shared goals. War, corruption, suffering, suppression, repression, and hopelessness are its chief characteristics.”
