About the speakers
Born in Taipei in 1964, Lee Mingwei immigrated to the US when he was a young child. He went to high school in San Francisco and graduated with a bachelor of fine arts in textile arts from the California College of Arts in 1993 before earning a graduate degree at Yale University in 1997. He is one of the most prominent Taiwanese American artists today, and his practice has been celebrated across Europe and Asia with recent major solo exhibitions at the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo; The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art Beijing; Centre Pompidou, Paris; and Gropius Bau, Berlin. Rituals of Care will be the artist’s first survey exhibition in the United States.
Claudia Schmuckli joined the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in 2016 as curator in charge of contemporary art and programming. Previously she was director and chief curator of the Blaffer Art Museum in Houston, where she forged a reputation as a pivotal figure in the presentation of contemporary art. Before coming to the Blaffer Art Museum, Schmuckli worked at the Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York.
