In Ichiban<\/em>, the artist mixes paint and instant ramen noodles with other found objects to create experimental sculptures that consider the artificial nature of \u201cinstant\u201d food, as well as reflecting on ephemeral form and temporality in the artworks themselves. Like the companion work, Fugazi, Ichiban<\/em> alludes to the complex relationship between that which is \u201creal\u201d and that which is \u201cartificial\u201d in our contemporary culture and art. Lee’s project reflects on his earlier works, such as the\u00a0Dollar Store Still Life<\/em> series (2006), which also examined the economic and cultural values of fake and artificial consumer goods<\/p>\n
