I-Hua Lee is a visual artist from Taiwan. She has engaged body issues, gender roles and performativity in an interdisciplinary art practice. Her work seeks to transgress fixed boundaries of power in society. This involves creating theatrical stages, in which include human body casts, arranged feminine dresses, cross-dressed costumes, exaggerated backdrops, bodily expressions and performances.
Lee has exhibited her works in such venues as the Taipei Cultural Center in New York, the Newspace Center for Photography in Portland, and the Woman Made Gallery in Chicago and has participated in numerous exhibitions in Taipei, Shanghai and the United States. Lee has been a finalist in Flora & Fauna Photography Competition in 2009. Her first artist book Short Conversation was published in the same year in Taiwan. She was a project manager at artist Cai Guo-Qiang's studio and is the founder and chief editor for an independent curatorial journal Chuan Art which was launched in August 2011.
