kate-hers RHEE (이미래/李未來 Artist kate-hers RHEE) is an interdisciplinary artist, budding long distance runner and lover of post-colonial science fiction and science based self-help books, whose interactive projects, videos, workshops, and installations have been shown in diverse galleries, alternative spaces and museums in Berlin, such as Galerie Wedding, Galerie damdam in the Korean Cultural Center, SOMA artspace, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Museum für Asiatische Kunst and the Berlinische Galerie; and beyond, at Trout Museum of Art (Appleton, WI), Incheon Art Platform (Korea), National Museum Women in the Arts (DC), and the British Museum (London).
Working primarily in performance, installation, and participatory interventions that are often documented and registered in video, photography and drawing, the artist’s transcultural practice has led her to working chiefly in United States, South Korea, and Germany, where learning foreign languages and code switching, continuously informs her work.
She has received numerous awards and prizes, among them a Foundation for the Contemporary Art Emergency COVID 19 grant, a Fulbright junior scholarship, the first prize of the visual art competition and the first biannual art grant of the AHL Foundation, an Incheon Art Platform residency fellowship, MacDowell residency fellowship, the Berlin Senate working artist fellowship and support from the Heinrich Böll Stiftung. In 2018 she was a Goldrausch fellow. She has recently lectured at the Museum für Asiatische Kunst and the Kunsthalle am Hamburgerplatz at Weißensee Kunsthochschule. Her artistic practice post-Covid-19 was featured in a documentary video co-produced by the MiA Collective Art and the Korea Society in New York City. RHEE's newest project, dealing with death ritual and the afterlife will be featured at the Pacific Asia Museum, University of Southern California and she is currently preparing for a solo exhibition at the Paul Robeson Galleries at Rutgers University. She established her studio in Berlin in 2009.
