Lee Sparks Pembleton is an artist and musician based in Chicago, IL, USA, Earth. Pembleton is a member of the art/sound troupes 23E Studios, My Special Porpoise, SleepWalks, My Daddy Ate My Eyes, Forever What?, Premenstrual Vampires, and The Museum of Viral Memory.

He is the Director of Earthbound Moon, a non-profit arts collaborative he co-founded with Carson Murdach in 02010. Their mission is to create publicly accessible contemporary sculpture by international artists in communities around the world. The group has installed public art works in Texas, Illinois, and New Mexico. In the coming year they are preparing installs for Greece and Mexico. They have worked with artists from Denmark, USA, Scotland, and France. Eventually the artworks will morph from an opportunistic and seemingly random assortment of odd international locations into a web of coherent and giddy gathering places. They will be sites of curiosity, engagement and wonder on a local and global scale.
