JOCELYN LEE: GROUNDED PACE MACGILL

ak/gs set 5-3 #698803

NEW YORK CITY — The Pace/MacGill Gallery will present “Jocelyn Lee: Grounded,” an exhibition of recent photographs, May 17–June 16. This is Lee’s first solo exhibition in New York since 2001 and will feature nearly 20 new color photographs. An opening will take place May 17, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at the gallery, 32 East 57 street.

Photographed primarily in New York and Maine, Lee’s portraits confront issues of aging, mortality, fragility of the body and, by contrast, youth and sensuality. Among her subjects are young women and men from a small community of Somali immigrants. Photographing people in the context of varied landscapes, Lee equates the simplicity, serenity and drama of these environments with the humanity of her subjects.

Lee received her BA in photography from Yale University, and her MFA from the City University of New York at Hunter College. She was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2001. She lives in Brooklyn and teaches at Princeton University. Her work can be found in several museums, including The Bates Museum of Art, Lewiston, Maine; The Center for Documentary Studies at Tufts University, Boston; The Colby College Museum of Art, Waterville, Maine; The Farnsworth Museum, Rockland, Maine; The Folkwang Museum, Essen, Germany; The Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
