Drawing from somatics, gestalt, and the sublime, Lees’ radical pedagogy often takes form as neon, holography, video, or print. Splitting her time between Brooklyn and Chicago, Lees teaches the craft of neon bending at both New York University and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She envisions a world where the power of light amplifies our humanity and expands the discourses of aesthetics, gender, and culture.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMember Discount (Argon level and higher):  Enter \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMONAMEMBER\u003c\/span\u003e at checkout for $50 off your class!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnrollment deadline is 48 hours before the start of the class.
