Liu Chuang’s works integrate social intervention with institutional critique to examine immediate social realities
Liu Chuang lives and works in Shanghai. In 2001, he received his BA from the Hubei Institute of Fine Arts. He works primarily with film, sculpture, readymade and installation. His works often integrate long-term history and ecological arc for imagination, tracing the social, cultural and economic transformations of contemporary China.
Weaving narratives that connect the micro and macro, past and present, fiction and reality, Liu Chuang explores how vast and complex changes in nature, tradition, demographics, cutting-edge technology, and socio-economic systems affect individuals and their engagements with the world.
In 2019, Chuang visited CERN to film Lithium Lake and the Lonely Island of Polyphony, which focuses on the industrial production of lithium ore. This work was exhibited at the Taipei Biennial 2020, You and I Don’t Live on the Same Planet.
