GHOST_WORLD, curated by Tanya Zimbardo, features new videos, augmented reality, paintings, and glass sculptures by Jen Liu. The exhibition originates in Liu’s long-term engagement with labor activism and women electronics workers in South China. This project takes up last year’s social media phenomenon of “frog mothers,” unlicensed street vendors in China wearing inflatable frog costumes and selling frog-shaped balloons. The exhibition and related performance share thematic overlaps with Liu’s long-term project, Pink Slime Caesar Shift, select works of which are also included in the show.
