Andrew Yee is the lead content creator, editor and writer for Life Without Andy’s ‘Mad Love’ section. ‘Mad Love’ was conceived to shine light on the stories of niche pioneering artists and the importance of alternative cultures. Yee’s passion for colourful and coherent storytelling has led to an eclectic array of subjects: from daredevils who jump off of top ropes, K-pop stars, burger experts, fierce ball veterans, sneakerheads, to renowned illustrators and decorated street artists. During his time at Life Without Andy, Yee has created several new features to tell refreshing and under the radar narratives, including the on-camera docuseries ‘Mad Love’, the ‘Illustrated Interview’ series, ‘Top 5 Art Shows To See This Month’, along with written interviews and editorials.
Yee has collaborated on features and interviews with The Orchard, The National Gallery of Victoria, The Art Gallery Of New South Wales, 4A Centre For Contemporary Asian Art, Brainfeeder records, WWE, EN Management, Red Bull, Sexpo, Babekuhl, Half Symbolic Films and The Japan Foundation, along with cultivating compelling written pieces with a number of independent artists.
Over the summer, the Art Gallery of New South is holding the largest-ever exhibition of Fei's work in Australia, My City is Yours 欢迎登陆'. The show intertwines Fei's expansive catalogue of films, photos, and installations into an organised chaos resembling a sprawling cityscape. My City is Yours 欢迎登陆 intersects the past and present, where local Sydney artefacts act as portals to futuristic visions. While the show's allure is Fei's insights into contemporary China, the title encourages a shared reflection on the effects of rapid gentrification on a global level.
