Please join us for Open Studio with Wayne Liu, Visual Studies Workshop resident artist. Wayne Liu engages with the complexities of identity shaped by his life between Taiwan, his birthplace, and the United States. This continual movement informs both his sense of belonging and his artistic practice. Navigating the dissonant spaces between cultures—such as the dense, sensory world of a Taiwanese wet market and the sterile order of an American supermarket—his identity remains in flux, never fully resolved. Through installations that scatter photographs like words forming fragmented sentences, Wayne examines and unsettles fixed notions of memory, history, and the photographic medium itself.
This event is free and open to the public.
