Yujin Lee is an artist and a collaborator who practices process-oriented and relation-specific artmaking. Open to unexpected encounters, she wears many hats: a host, an artist, a friend, a writer, a curator, a caretaker of the land and animals, a translator, a teacher, a tour guide, a student…

After having lived in Berlin (2010 - 2013) and New York City (2013 - 2017), Lee settled in a rural village on Jeju Island. She acquired an old farmhouse complex that had a main house, a sub house, a tangerine barn, and a patch of land. Renovating the place into a creative live/work space called, Next Door to the Museum Jeju, she openned an experimental artist residency inspired by Van Gogh's Studio of the South, the Black Mountain College, and Rirkrit Tiravanija's The Land Foundation. Next Door to the Museum Jeju is a private home open to friends and acquaintances, where the boundary between art and life is muddled and the art that results from this shared time and space is crystalized into a long term friendship. To this day, a total of nine domestic and international artists have stayed at Lee’s humble home.

Yujin Lee has participated in many artist residencies, group and solo exhibitions in Berlin, New York, Seoul, Jeju, Bangkok, Fukuoka, Beijing, etc. After relocating to South Korea, she organized two small group exhibitions in Seoul (2018, 2019), and worked as a collaborating curator for the 3rd Jeju Biennale (2022-23).
