Lee Frederix: Exploring the Urban Mindscape

Originally from the industrial landscapes of America, Lee Frederix brings his creative vision to the dynamic city of Beirut. As an artist and academic, he bridges the worlds of architecture, urbanism, and fine arts, blending these disciplines in his experimental practice.

Frederix's diverse background shapes his work, which often takes the form of assemblage, sculpture, and installation. His pieces create immersive experiences, encouraging viewers to engage with materials and forms in new ways.

Materials play a central role in his art, chosen for their unique qualities and the possibilities they offer for transformation. By combining elements in unexpected ways, Frederix creates works that spark curiosity and invite deeper exploration.

His recent projects focus on alternative mapping, inspired by psychogeographic studies of Beirut. Frederix uncovers the city’s hidden stories and layers of meaning, reflecting on how these narratives shape the urban experience.

Through his art and research, Lee Frederix challenges us to rethink our relationship with space and place, offering a fresh perspective on the connections that define our lives.
