National Artists' Days at Atelier 11

​13 & 14 September 2025
2 pm - 7 pm
Atelier 11 Cité Falguière, 75015 Paris

​L'AiR Arts is thrilled to participate in the inaugural National Artists' Days with an Open Studio of interdisciplinary artist Jay Lee from South Korea. As a resident at Atelier 11 Cité Falguière, Jay Lee will present a body of work exploring the intersection of memory and transformation through natural pigment paintings, collected materials, and photography. 

​This event at this historic 150-year-old atelier that was once a vibrant hub for the major artists of the Ecole de Paris—will forge links across geographical and temporal divides, inviting visitors on an immersive journey through time and space while encouraging them to reconsider the dynamic relationships between material, memory, and place.​

Atelier 11, with its rich historical significance, provides an ideal setting to expand my research on time, place, and material evolution. During my residency, I will explore how my nomadic journey—traveling across continents from the South to the North—takes on new site-specific meaning in Paris. My work will create a contemplative space that reflects on the ever-evolving self and shifting landscapes.

My paintings, created with natural dyes, pigments, and historical binding techniques, will be exhibited alongside photographic works and bio-based sculptures. This presentation will introduce my ongoing research into glaciers and remote landscapes near the North and South Poles, drawing connections between environmental shifts and personal and collective narratives.

By developing my work within Paris’ historical and cultural fabric, I will further investigate how environments—natural, urban, and archival—shape identity and perception.
