Margaret Lee (b. 1980) is an artist and curator. In 2009 Lee founded the artist-run space 179 Canal. 179 Canal took the form of an open-ended dialog between Lee and an eclectic group of artists and collaborators.
“179 Canal was spurred by an ongoing communication with friends – who participated in making 179 what it became – about the lack of a real artists’ space in NYC. I never had to look far for projects since it wasn’t about finding something but making sure the conversation remained open and continuous – friend to friend, peer to peer – amongst a group of artists who were tired of art about art, business as usual, and the heavy history of a past that wasn’t necessarily ours to reference.” – Margaret Lee.
