Exhibition
Val Lee: The Presence of Solitude
7 Oct 2025-11 Jan 2026
Hayward Gallery
London SE1 8XX
Overview
A multidisciplinary exhibition from Taiwanese artist Val Lee (李奧森), continuing her exploration of isolation, intimacy and hope.
The exhibition features new iterations of two existing works: Valley in the Minibus (2024) and The Sorrowful Football Team (2025), which explore the concept of transitory ‘non-spaces’ and political repression in Taiwan during the White Terror respectively.
Val Lee’s work has been shown internationally. In 2008, Lee founded the Taipei-based art collective Ghost Mountain Ghost Shovel and in 2017 she was awarded the Taishin Arts Award for Visual Arts. This is her first solo exhibition in the UK.
Presented as part of the RC Foundation Project Space Exhibition Series, with support from the RC Foundation, Taiwan (R.O.C.). Additional support provided by the Ministry of Culture, Taiwan (R.O.C.).
