The Language of Grief: MCA Denver

“Maia Ruth Lee: The Language of Grief” was on view at the MCA Denver from February 26 to August 22, 2021. Lee relocated to Colorado in the spring of 2020, and her work reflects on the events of that year. Comprising of entirely new paintings, wall-based installations, works on paper, and a video present a tender response to the upheaval, change, and loss from 2019 through 2020. Maia Ruth Lee explores the failure of language to express fully and accurately the meaning of an emotion or an experience.

This exhibition was curated by Nora Burnett Abrams, Mark G. Falcone Director.
