About the Video

Watch as Mire Lee’s vision comes to life in Hyundai Commission: Mire Lee: Open Wound. Technicians transport 'skin' sculptures, crafted from mesh and rebar and coated in viscous liquid pumped through vein-like tubes, before suspending them on chains. The process blends the artisanal with the industrial, evolving into a powerful installation that explores transformation, labor, and care.

About the Program

The annual Hyundai Commission is a series of new, site-specific installations by international artists in Tate Modern’s iconic Turbine Hall. It is made possible by the long-term partnership between Tate and Hyundai Motor, now confirmed until 2036. The partnership, recently extended for another decade, was founded in 2014 with the longest initial commitment from a corporate partner in Tate’s history and encompasses support of both the Hyundai Commission and the Hyundai Tate Research Centre: Transnational. Attracting over 19 million visitors since it began, the Hyundai Commission gives artists the chance to interpret the vast industrial space of Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, ​​producing some of the most bold and memorable artworks of the past decade.
