Blindspot Gallery is pleased to present “Jen Liu: I Am Cloud”, the artist’s debut solo exhibition at the gallery and in Asia, on view from 17 September to 2 November 2024. The exhibition will present Liu’s recent and new bodies of work, which encompass videos, paintings, and mixed-media animatronic sculptures.
“Jen Liu: I Am Cloud” moves from the final chapter of Liu’s project Pink Slime Caesar Shift (2016-2023), marked by her film The Land at the Bottom of the Sea (2023), into a new body of work including the titular video I Am Cloud (2024) which will premiere at the exhibition.
In this presentation, Liu draws upon research and non-fictional materials to create fabulated narratives that examine the virtualization of work – its realities, its speculative futures, and its historical precedents. The title evokes the Cloud, a cyber infrastructure which stores our memories and data, seemingly automated but in fact powered by an invisible soft body network of humans.
“We are bodies as contraband, women made of cloud. Do you see me now?”
— Jen Liu
During the opening reception (14 Sep, 3:30 – 6:30 pm), Jen Liu will be in conversation with Junni Chen, Deputy Director of Para Site, at 4:30 – 5:30 pm. The talk will be conducted in English.
