About the exhibition
*Lynn Hershman Leeson: First Person Plural* runs at Seoul Museum of Art's Seosomun building from October 21, 2026 through February 21, 2027, with free admission. Born in 1941, the American artist has explored identity, surveillance and technology through drawing, photography, sculpture, cinema, video, the internet and AI. The museum describes this as her first museum solo exhibition in Asia, bringing together approximately 200 works.
What to explore
Six sections follow the relationship between identity and technology: *Confessions of a Chameleon*, *Making a Persona*, *Flesh and Machine*, *The Screen Responds*, *When Data Becomes Love*, and *Edited Futures* (descriptive English translations of the official Korean section headings). The show links feminist exploration of selfhood with algorithms, data, surveillance and biotechnology. Alongside media installations there are paintings, drawings, photos and film works.
