Lee Nevo

Lee Nevo (b. Jerusalem, based in Tel Aviv), graduated from the MFA program at Bezalel academy and holds a BFA from the Multidisciplinary Art department in Shenkar College.

Nevo’s practice includes installations, models, sculpted objects, prints and sound. She has a thing for different types of structures, systems and control mechanisms while her works consist of scenographies that exist as a suggestion for a possible escalation of a situation, experiment or action. Nevo has a project-oriented practice where site-specificity and its historical, architectural, and cultural context often defines the essence of each work.

Nevo has exhibited in museums and galleries in Israel and abroad such as the 5th Moscow International Biennial for Young Art (2016), Tel Aviv’s Artist studios (Solo, 2016), Ramat Gan Museum, Israel (Solo, 2016), Bat-Yam museum, Israel (2014) and BOA Gallery, Dusseldorf (2019), Videozone The 5th Israeli Biennial for Video Art – CCA, Tel Aviv (2010), Memphis Gallery, Linz (2018), the Cita Gallery in Paris (2018), Avee Gallery in Kortrijk etc.

Nevo participated in several residency programs including the Bronner foundation residency grant, Dusseldorf (2019), “Noise Agency” by the Felicia Blumenthal Music Center, Tel Aviv (2022), Cite Internationale des Art in Paris (2018), Tobacna gallery 001 in Ljubljana on behalf of the Center for Digital Art Holon.
