282: Steven Young Lee on his recent exhibition at the Portland Art Museum

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Steven Young Lee. Growing up in Chicago the son of
immigrant Korean parents, Steve turned to pop culture as a
touchstone for belonging. His current body of work blends
contemporary and historical references on ceramic vessels,
including a recently completed large-scale plate installation. In
our interview we talk about early 80’s TV heroes, how social
media affects the aesthetics of globalism, and the process of
making work for his exhibition at the Portland Art Museum. For
more information on Steve please visit www.stevenyounglee.com. To
