Liao Wen lives and works in Hong Kong. She received her MFA
from the Central Academy of Fine Arts China in 2019. Liao Wen’s practice spans
sculpture, performance, and video. Drawing inspiration from puppetry,
anthropology of myths and rituals, medicine, and art history, she interrogates
the social order, technology, and disciplining power projected onto the body.
Both primordial and futuristic, her works depict the unsettling balance of the
body in the liminal state and imagine future bodily possibilities.
Her solo exhibitions include Capsule Shanghai (Venice,2024;
Shanghai, 2021) and Cai Jin Space (Beijing, 2021). She has participated in group
exhibitions, Guangdong Times Museum（Guangzhou, 2024); The First Trans-Southeast Asia
Triennial (Guangzhou, 2023); Cassina Projects (Milan, 2023); François Ghebaly
Gallery (Los Angeles, 2022); OCAT Biennale 2021 (Shenzhen, 2021), among others.
She was awarded the Frieze New York Stand prize in 2023 and was a finalist
artist for the Ducato Prize in 2023. Her works have been featured in
publications such as The New York Times, Art in America, The Art Newspaper
China, and ArtReview. She has been
selected to be the resident of Pro Helvetia in Switzerland in 2025.
