Jen Liu
My work starts with research-based fictions. From existing socio-economic and political conditions, I build fictional words, fabricated narratives that speaks to contested accounts of the past and present.

In paintings, video, choreography and genetically manipulated biomaterial, artist Jen Liu (New York, 1976) exposes complex political and social issues. She builds fictional worlds in her art, with made-up stories that touch on controversial issues from the past and the present. Recognizable props and costumes are used to shape the stories.
