AustriaThe Austrian art magazine Der Standard features an article about the installation 'Ein Betonmischer als gigantisches Herz in der Secession' by Korean artist Mire Lee at Vienna's Secession gallery. The artwork uses a large concrete mixer as a central element, pumping red liquid through organic structures made of iron oxide, water, gold particles, and wood mixtures. The piece is designed to change over time, with the liquid accumulating in a basin that needs daily cleaning. The work references Gustav Klimt and the Jugendstil movement, using materials like gold and lead-based solder to connect with the gallery's history. The article highlights Lee's previous works, including installations at the Tate Modern and Venice Biennale, emphasizing her use of fluid elements to create bodily forms.
