Jen Liu is a visual artist based in New York, working in video/animation, choreography, genetically engineered biomaterial, sculpture, and painting to explore national identities, gendered economies, neoliberal industrial labor, and then re-motivating of archival artifacts. She builds fictional worlds from multiple lines of research, fabricated narratives that speak to contested accounts of the past and present. She is a 2019 recipient of the Creative Capital Award, 2018 LACMA Art +Technology Lab grant, and 2017 Guggenheim Fellowship in Film/Video. She has presented work at The Whitney Museum, MoMA, and The New Museum in New York City; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC; Royal Academy and ICA in London; Kunsthaus Zurich; Kunsthalle Wien; the Aspen Museum of Art (US); Henry Art Gallery, Seattle (US); MUSAC, Leon (ES); UCCA Peking, Times Museum Guanzhou, (CN); and the 2014 Shanghai Biennale and 2019 Singapore Biennale.
