Jen Liu is a New York-based artist working on topics of labor biopolitics, feminist mutation, and the re-motivating of archival artifacts. In her current body of work, Pink Slime Caesar Shift, videos, painting, dance, installation, and biomaterial blur the line between the speculative-fictional and speculative-seeming-but-all-too-real, as methods of global industrial management and genetic engineering are mis-appropriated to model covert information networks for the use of labor activists. She has received the Creative Capital Grant, LACMA Art + Technology grant, the Guggenheim Fellowship and the Pollock Krasner, and her work has shown at MoMA, The Whitney Museum, The Kitchen, and The New Museum; Royal Academy and ICA in London; Kunsthaus Zurich; Kunsthalle Wien; as well as the 2014 Shanghai Biennale and the 2019 Singapore Biennial, among others.
