Art, Unfixed

Art, Unfixed brings together four artists, Manhee Kim, Wonchul Lee, Insook Yang, and David Park, working across abstract painting and photography to explore what it means to resist fixity in art, identity, and time. The show runs at the Fort Lee Museum from June 15 to 30, 2026, with free admission daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Its central premise is that art cannot be fixed to a single place, meaning, or form, and each artist approaches that idea in a distinct medium. Manhee Kim, long based in New York, translates her pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago into acrylic paintings, dissolving the boundary between self and world. Photographer Wonchul Lee erases clock hands through long exposures made in London, Prague, Budapest, and Yangon, presenting time as experienced rather than measured. Insook Yang photographs a single balloon that drifts between memory and the present, making visible the plural selves we carry. David Park, an acupuncturist and abstract painter based in Fort Lee, pours, scrapes, and pulls paint under the principles of Wu Wei and Kong, letting the flow of Qi find its own form on the canvas. An artist reception will be held Saturday, June 20, from 3 to 5 p.m., with all four artists present, guided commentary, a live string quartet, and vocal performance. The Fort Lee Museum is at 1589 Parker Avenue in Fort Lee, New Jersey. Admission is free, and reservations are recommended.
