Info
Jiaqi Liu (b.2001, Beijing, China) is a project-based, concept-driven artist. Interdisciplinary and non-medium-specific in nature, her work often engages technology, imaging, performance, writing, and the public. Deeply inspired by philosophies of dynamics and tension from her cultural heritage, she hosts them in conversations with science and technology to examine pattern, perception, and communication in contemporary life. In her work, Jiaqi constructs precise conditions in which natural and social forces unfold, valuing clarity of intent while leaving space for contingency, discovery, and reflection.
Jiaqi has shown and performed her work at Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (Chicago, US), Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, US), Brooklyn Bridge Park (New York, US), AMC Empire Theater (New York, US), Microscope Gallery (New York, US), Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (Gimpo, KR), Jupiter Museum of Art (Shenzhen, CN), Galerie KUB (Leipzig, DE), as well as on large public screens in Denver (US), Kalamata (GR), and Rethymno (GR). She has been selected and featured by Tribeca Film Institute, Photoville Festival, Backslash, the Wrong Biennale, BarTur Photo Award, Video Art Miden, Digerati Experimental Media Festival, Lisa Lu Foundation, among others.
Jiaqi holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she was a recipient of the Pritzker Fellowship and was nominated for the AICAD Teaching Fellowship. Previously, she received a Dual-MS in Computer and Information Science from Cornell University with the Connective Media Fellowship, as well as a BFA with honors from NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
