EVENT DESCRIPTION
Blindspot Gallery is pleased to present “Jen Liu: I Am Cloud”, the artist’s debut solo exhibition at the gallery and in Hong Kong, on view from 17 September to 2 November 2024. The exhibition will present Liu’s recent and new body 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 (2017-2023), 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. The gallery will analogously be divided into a dark and light room, signaling the change from ocean to cloud, liquid vaporizing into mist.
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.
