Jade Sujin Lee’s solo exhibition Polyphony Club: Mondegreen Expanded Edition extends the artist’s ongoing research since 2021 into “dissonance of chance and unpredictability.” At the boundary between the real and the virtual, the exhibition explores the evolution and transformation of microscopic life-worlds. Developed from questions that arose during LEE’s participation in an Arctic Ocean expedition in 2024, the exhibition unfolds the artist’s perspective on contemporary scientific conceptions of life phenomena, while reimagining the networks of connection, contact, and communication that humanity has constructed over time.

The exhibition presents three new video works, along with drawings, sculptures, and installations. The works are situated within a series of speculative and contingent events of our time, where the material and immaterial worlds, precarious intangible layers without boundaries or hierarchies, and flows of information, objects, and narratives ceaselessly overflow and entangle. The sounds of the media works embody a world that trembles and speaks—a vibrating field where mishearing, illusion, and auditory hallucination ripple through matter—as in the so-called “mondegreen effect.”
