Kang Seung Lee’s (b.1978, Seoul) practice is centred on the care of transnational queer histories. His polymathic and research-led work – recently included in the 2021 New Museum Triennial – pays renewed attention to important queer artists and gay rights activists, such as Derek Jarman and David Wojnarowicz. Laboriously rendered in graphite on paper, Untitled (Peter Hujar, Hudson River 1, 1975) (2020), re-represents Peter Hujar’s iconic photograph of the glistening, rippling and undulating surface of the Hudson River in New York. The abandoned piers of the river were popular gay cruising spots; inspiring artists such as Alvin Baltrop and David Hammons.
