Ying Liu

geluid - natuur - performance - abstract - artistiek onderzoek

Ying Liu positions herself as a time killer and dilettante in art, experimenting the aimlessly long-term engagement with materials whilst embracing the uncertainty that comes with daily experiments in forms of installation, performance, video and drawing.

Influenced by a Chinese Buddhist family she has developed a strong tendency to decentralize the “self” through minimizing her artist’s authority in the art-making. Her practice explores the possibilities of "motional mediation" in the field of everyday life, while suspending her own subjectivity and expression.

Living Room for Living

Tentoonstelling / presentatie

  • 05-10-2019 t/m 05-10-2019
  • Locatie: Platform LivingRoom, ROTTERDAM
  • Nowadays, artworks and designs can have a genuine impact on how we shape our lives. Living around a large bed placed in the center of an apartment surrounded by artworks of friends will affect our feelings in an important way. This living room was considered to be an experimental site for me to experience the interplay between life and the works I created when “killing time”, during this two-week residency, supporting me to invent an ideal proposal of daily life.
