About the artist: Sidian Liu (b. 1997, China) is an image-based artist, translator, yarner, and home builder, currently based in Brooklyn, NY. She utilizes images, performance, installations, and socially-engaged methods to explore possibilities of nesting and loving beyond boundaries. She moved to New York City in 2021 from China.
Dealing with her sense of displacement, she started The Conch Girl Project in 2022: she asks strangers to let her use their kitchens in solitude. In return, she cooks them a meal. She asks for the least amount of face-to-face contact during the kitchen visit. After the visit, the resulting photos and the kitchen owners’ responses will later be printed large and wheat-pasted on the green construction boards on New York City streets. The street publication is both a presentation and an open call that invites future collaboration.
With the support of the 2024 Denis Roussel Fellowship, organized by the Center for Fine Art Photography, Sidian Liu traveled to Fort Collins, CO for a week in September 2024. The resulting photos and recipes are expected to culminate into an exhibition in fall 2025 in Fort Collins.
