Jen Liu part of Living Another Future at MAIIAM, Chiang Mai
Jen Liu is part of exhibition LIVING ANOTHER FUTURE at MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum, which runs until 3 June, 2025.
The group exhibition explores how humans invest in particular narratives, in order to enable, sustain, or even control a desired future. The artists in this exhibition delve into histories of superstition, folklore, materialism, political doctrine, and colonial conceit that shapes the future today. Their works offer windows onto how such trusted guidance (or beliefs) are too often asserted at the expense of others, ultimately betraying land and people.
Embracing video, film, photography, sculpture, print-making, installation, and ceramic, this exhibition provides an interwoven set of stories unfolding from Thailand, Vietnam, the Congo, Cambodia, China, Morocco, and Pakistan.
In conjunction with this year-long exhibition is a public program of film screenings—including the work of Jen Liu: The Land At the Bottom of the Sea (2023). The film will be screened twice a day.
