Jennifer Tee

Jennifer Tee (b.1973, Arnhem, NL) lives and works in Amsterdam. Her works comprise sculpture, installation, performance, photography, and collages, all with a wide-ranging underlying frame of reference. Of central importance is Tee’s interest in the in-between state of what she calls “the soul in limbo”. The soul in limbo is restless and alive and caught in an unnamed place – a conceptual, mental, psychological, and physical space – on the border between the present and the possible. Tee also researches contemporary life, with its cross-cultural identity and narratives, its instability and complexity, and its potential for the loss of identity, language, and kinship with original cultures. In addition, Tee explores various forms of utopian concepts of life and their potential for creating a new and more beautiful and soulful world. Her work encourages the contemplation of life’s fragile connections, evoking spiritual realms with active material experimentation. Tee was educated at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam, Sandberg Institute, Amsterdam, St. Joost, Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Breda and Gerrit Rietveld Academy of Art and Design, Amsterdam.
